Although this year's tax return has finished, our family forgot to apply for a deduction for medical expenses.

So, yesterday, I forced myself to apply for the E-Tax System.

(I heard that you can apply for medical expenses retroactively for about five years, but I was able to use it, so that's good.)

I was surprised that the information on my number card for my entire family instantly gave me a year's worth of medical expenses.

This service has made it very easy, as my wife used to compile the receipts, and I used to submit them in Excel with a few minor entries.

However, I had to apply separately for transportation expenses in XML format or something.

I had been converting Excel sheets to XML and feeding them into the system, but the system rejected them as expected.

I had to manually enter the transportation expenses combined for the year (though there were 4 cases).

As always, the system created by the government is convenient and inconvenient in equal parts.

This time, I got a refund that was not worth the hassle (enough for my family to go out for lunch).

Speaking of taxes, the party members in the ruling party's cashback case, the so-called back taxes case, seem to have been punished yesterday.

I do not know where the "5 million yen" that was the basis for this disposition came from.

In our cases, we would be subject to taxation if the amount exceeded 200,000 yen, but 5 million yen is 25 times this amount.

If the standard amount is "200,000 yen," the ruling party (and possibly the opposition party) may cease functioning, but there is something unexplainable.

I will not pay attention to a person's character if it serves the national interest, but if it does not, I will attack them.

Because such a person harms my (Ebata's) interests (and mood).

I am not interested in politicians' beliefs (although I may despise them).

I don't care what religion they believe in as long as it is not a cult that does psychic work (like the old Unification Church) (though I may make them look foolish).

However,?

"I don't forgive them about the money scandal."

My heart will not accept it except for the logic.

I do not envy rich people because they have money.

I envy the "peace of mind" that comes with having money.

Money is a "source of security."

Suppose "security" is tied to a privileged status (politician). In that case, I want to rip that "security" away, smash it to the ground, and destroy it with the "greatest backhandedness" I can muster.

In this case of back taxes, I heard the 39 party members of the ruling party have been confirmed for punishment, and some vehemently oppose the executive branch's decision.

"39" -- This is a good number of people.

These 39 people should leave the party altogether and start a new party.

The new party's name should be "New Party for Tax Evasion" or "New Party for Cashback."

The party can change its name afterward, so it is better to be as conspicuous as possible when launched.

The Party policy can be "overthrow" or "retaliation".

For investment funds, use the "slush fund" they have saved up to this point as a fund.

Perhaps not only our country but the world will be surprised.

It will be top news in many countries.
