Recently, public servants in Japan have been disparaged by general Japanese citizens as tax eaters or unreasonably protected group. Those who lost words to them were not only Japanese but also Australian farmers.
According to an editorial in Nigata Nippo dated today, a Japanese government worker in Farm Ministry made Australian farmers angry over the extravagant treatments that they had to pay.
The editorial reported their comments, "Why business class though he is even not a minister? We paid a lot for restaurants or sightseeing excursions. Is it common in Japan?"
In the past, Ruth Benedict who was an American anthropologist mentioned about Japan that Japan has a culture of "shame". However, she may have missed observing the culture of government of Japan. To their shame, they don't have sense of money that they think it given from sky naturally although it is paid by general citizens.
When you notice the structure of Japan's society, you will know that why this country has the worst debt among all the developed countries.
Thank you for visiting and have a nice day!
P.S. I am listing my debut volume, "Falling Japan ~On The Verge of Bankruptcy and Destruction" on ebay. Please take a look at the auction page.
