Wang Hongwei put forward the political opinion of "repaying taxes to the people" at the press conference.

She pointed out that in the past few years, the government’s tax collection has been seriously over-collected. From 2017 to 2019, the annual over-collection was about 780 billion yuan. Only 22.2 billion yuan was short-collected in 2020, and the over-collection was as high as 4327 yuan in 2021. It is estimated that this year may reach as much as 450 billion yuan.

Wang Hongwei said that the Tsai government has been in power for 6 years, and the tax excess has reached 1.6 trillion yuan. In the past two years, the tax excess has been huge, but it has not explained to the taxpayers, and the money is spent indiscriminately. What should be returned to taxpayers or used to pay off debts to reduce the burden on future generations.

Wang Hongwei said that "repaying taxes to the people" has had similar cases in the past, such as Singapore and Hong Kong. When the economic growth exceeds expectations, the tax collection will be exceeded, and red envelopes will be given to the citizens. The same concept was also used in California in October this year. The largest tax rebate program, the release of inflation relief money, "Why can California, Singapore, and Hong Kong do it, but Taiwan can't?"

Wang Hongwei said that in addition to "repaying taxes to the people", if she enters the Legislative Yuan in the future, she will postpone the review of the budget, especially whether the central government and state-owned enterprise budgets are tied to specific media, and regularly expose the government's money-wasting projects.

Regarding the announcement of political opinions on the first trip after leaving the customs, is it a deliberate response to DPP candidate Wu Yinong's question of "not mentioning any political opinions"?

Wang Hongwei said that she has put forward many political opinions before, including the extension of the second and third nuclear plants, supervising Premier Su Zhenchang, government propaganda and budget, etc. Today, she is only reporting on financial issues, and these political opinions will be published in the election bulletin.

Wang Hongwei also mentioned that when Wu Yinong put forward the political opinion of "loose machine relocation", she immediately reminded that it involved the level of national security. Unfortunately, Wu always said that she was attacking and empty criticism, but now more and more professional People discuss and question whether Wu Yinong has a real national security professional. You can listen to what advice Feng Shikuan, the chairman of the Retirement Committee who was the Minister of National Defense, gave Wu Yinong.

Do you want Wu Yinong to debate with her?

Wang Hongwei laughed and said that she had told her several times, but Wu ignored her.

Wang mentioned that her team told her that when it comes to debates, the laggards should raise the issue with the leading ones. There are very few people like her who want to debate. Wu should have understood what she meant. "The door is always open." If Wu is ready, come to accept the debate.
