[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Na Kyung-won, former floor leader of the Liberty Korea Party, criticized on the 15th, saying, "Under the Moon Jae-in administration, people have been burdened with crimes they never had before," and added, "The crime of owning a house, the crime of working hard and saving money. They impose fines in the name of taxes on these artificially created crimes."

Na, on Facebook that day, said, "Recently, when you visit internet cafes and communities, there are complaints saying, 'The disqualification of retired parents as dependents has finally begun.' Elderly people who live by receiving a few hundred thousand won in monthly rent from houses prepared for retirement have been hit with the sudden blow of 'dependent disqualification.' Their children are immediately burdened with the responsibility of increasing their parents' allowance, which inevitably leads to mental breakdown," he said.

Na pointed out, "Although it is called health insurance premiums, it is essentially a tax. The government scrutinizes property and income like a microscope, taking from here and there whenever necessary, leaving the people completely drained in their seats. Especially for regional subscribers, the sharp rise in official housing prices and the strengthening of dependent qualifications will be a direct hit. Due to the failure of real estate policies, house prices have skyrocketed, and now they are told to pay more taxes accordingly. I don't understand what they want us to do?sell our houses and be driven somewhere, and pay with that money? What exactly are we supposed to do?"

Na emphasized, "The health insurance premium system for regional subscribers should be gradually reformed to focus on income and, in the long term, integrated into the tax system to improve fairness and predictability. The decision-making structure for setting health insurance premiums should be made transparent and professional to minimize arbitrary increases."

Na concluded, "Ultimately, what is needed is tax reduction for the common people. The current Moon Jae-in administration claims to increase taxes on the wealthy, but in reality, they forcibly classify even those who are not wealthy as rich and collect taxes, effectively increasing taxes on the common people. These are people who have built their foundation by living diligently and earnestly. Taxes should not be imposed even on their sweat and tears."
