The prices of marinated meat rice and salted crispy chicken all rose, and the People's Party criticized the Taiwan authorities: if anything goes up, the salary will not rise

According to a report by Taiwan media on November 2, the "Comptroller's Office" of Taiwan's administrative organ recently announced that the price index rose by as much as 2.63 percent in September, a new high in nearly nine years; Taiwan People's Party "legislators" Lai Xiangling and Zhang Qilu held a press conference on the 2nd to appeal that the prices of braised meat rice, dried noodles, salted crispy chicken, and bento all increased, but the people's salaries did not rise, making most of the laborers miserable, criticizing that the "price stabilization group" of the administrative organs has not yet seen the administrative organs put forward specific actions, and the DPP authorities must put forward countermeasures as soon as possible to curb the soaring prices. Failure to do so will lead to the victimization of the grassroots people.

Lai Xiangling and Zhang Qilu held a press conference this morning on "Facing up to the crisis of long-term low wages and inflation, the People's Party calls for: Fairness and Justice in the Tax System, And Confrontation against Rising Prices."

Lai Xiangling pointed out that the annual growth rate of important civil biological resources (cpi) is as high as 3.31%, salad oil, soy sauce, toothpaste, etc. have risen by more than 5%, pork prices have risen as high as 7.75%, many people have found that brine rice, dried noodles, salted crispy chicken, bento has risen by 5 yuan (NT$, the same below), food prices have risen, but salaries have not risen, making most workers miserable. Although the figure is not ugly, as long as the price index is added, it will be found that wage growth cannot keep up with the price increase, and the actual recurrent salary cannot "regress" after deducting the price index, and the problem of low wages is like a shadow, becoming a pain in the hearts of the people.

Lai Xiangling said that today's prices are rising steadily, the United States, Europe and Japan and other countries and regions during the epidemic quantitative easing "printing money" and debt issuance, hot money flowed everywhere, first the stock market of various economies rose sharply, and now after the epidemic slows down, after the recovery of the economy, the demand for raw materials such as oil and natural gas has increased significantly, these hot money have led to sharp price fluctuations, the United States, Europe, Japan and other places are facing serious price surge problems of inflation, for all kinds of civil biological resources price increase problem,

Zhang Qilu pointed out that after the epidemic, the "K-shaped recovery" problem swept the world, under the same economic situation, the people at the top looked at the stock price valuation and wealth increased, and the people at the bottom fell sharply in income and deepened pain, so did Taiwan, "Taiwan Bank" has long noticed that the island's industrial recovery has a K-shaped trend, Taiwan stocks stand on the 17,000, many Taiwanese people have to rely on bailouts to survive, the upper end of the K-type is science and technology stocks, industrial leaders, high-income and white-collar classes, the lower end is the boom cycle stocks, small and medium-sized enterprises, low-income and blue-collar classes, The two are in opposite directions.

Zhang Qilu said that Taiwan as a whole is profitable, but obviously only flows into the hands of a small number of people, the DPP authorities must take on the work of income distribution, can not condone social poverty and class differences, since the Mid-Autumn Festival oil prices have risen for 5 consecutive years, the price of general snack bars has risen, the retail store tea eggs have risen from 8 yuan to 10 yuan, a piece of peanut candy from 10 yuan to 12 yuan, calling for the adjustment of labor wages, public education salaries and retirement salaries, in addition to objective and pragmatic study, there must also be relevant scientific data to support, To avoid the black box and rigidity of the salary adjustment review system, the authorities have the ability to regulate public utility rates, such as promising not to raise electricity prices within half a year, and implementing "tax fairness and justice" as soon as possible, including the law on hoarding, trying to levy dividends, re-assessing the real estate tax base, and sharing the fruits of Taiwan's economic growth with the whole people.
