In fact, this is not the first time that Japanese government officials have proposed a bachelor tax. In 2004, a member of the Liberal Democratic Party suggested taxing single people to promote marriage, but the proposal ended up with nothing definite. 事实上,这并非日本政府官员第一次提出征收“单身税”(Bachelor Tax),早在2004年,日本自民党就曾经提出过向单身人士征税的议案,意图促进单身男女尽快结婚,不过最后还是不了了之。 为何日本政府对单身如此不友好? 2010年,日本NHK电视台播出的纪录片《“无缘社会”——32000人无缘死的冲击》给出了其中的答案。 |
