Pie: I worry proposal from radical left such as New Green Deal or 90% income tax by Democrats Rep Omar. Left-wingers not only ended Japan’s strongest economic growth in the second half of 20th century, but also caused two lost decades, 20 years economic stagnation between 1991 to 2012 (Japan’s Nikki Index dropped from 30,000 to 8,000 during that period). In 2012, right winger Shinzō Abe started to revitalize their economics and Japan’s Nikki Index moved up from 8,000 to 20,000 now. I am an old school and still believe because of motive and incentive, a little bit inequality is the path to prosperity. For example some criticized Shinzo Abe’s social welfare policy stratified society and created inequality in Japan, because Shinzo Abe believes that if you are capable/healthy and need social welfare from government, he wants you to do works for public, such as clean up public space and parks. He believed everybody could clean up their houses and yard. So if you contribute your efforts to public, Shinzo Abe assures you have Sushi, Sashimi, and warm Sake to drink on the daily basis, if you do not want to contribute your time and efforts, he only feeds you with Udon noodle/Teriyaki bow and certainly no Sake to drink. But look at how prosperous in Japan now.
