Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, has decided to accept the government and the ruling party's demand to abolish the tax system two months before the implementation of the financial investment income tax.

Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the People's Power Party, immediately welcomed it and beckoned to the ruling and opposition party council to come in quickly, but the Democratic Party responded negatively, asking if there was a justification to persuade the doctor.

The reason why CEO Lee Jae-myung agreed to abolish the financial investment income tax was that, in the end, the current situation in the domestic stock market is difficult.According to the principle and value of tax where there is income

, it is correct to implement it as scheduled, but he chose the theory of reality, saying that he cannot turn a blind eye to the opposition of investors.

It has been a month since he was delegated the authority to decide on the party's theory after a difficult discussion within the party and a general meeting of lawmakers.

CEO Lee, who explained the background of the decision for nearly 10 minutes, said, "On the other hand, the government's wrong policy caused the domestic stock market crisis."

He stressed that unfairness and military tensions over the Korean Peninsula that are not punished even if stock prices are manipulated have destroyed market confidence, and that he will work on revising the commercial law and advancing the stock market.

The power of the people immediately expressed its welcome.

Representative Han Dong-hoon praised himself that politics worked for the first time in a long time and repeatedly urged some doctors to join the ruling and opposition parties' government council, which expressed its intention to participate.

It would be nice to start with all the majors, but we can't postpone it any longer ahead of winter when medical demand will skyrocket, and we have set the 11th as the deadline for the launch.

However, the Democratic Party of Korea did not back down, saying that it should first prepare conditions for the participation of majors who demand the abolition of next year's medical school increase.

With Chairman Lee Jae-myung's decision, the financial investment tax, which was agreed upon by the ruling and opposition parties four years ago, will soon be scrapped after going through the process of revising the income tax law.

Public opinion is prioritized over the party's traditional line, and attention is being paid to how it will be evaluated.
