| Research Abstract |
Under pressure from Dodge's retrenchment policy, C. Shoup was forced to propose a tax structure which was progressive and imposed a heavy burden on the middle class. In addition, the Ministry of Finance reduced allocations for the Fiscal Equalization Grant, and later the Local Allocation Tax, to finance an even larger tax cut than proposed by Shoup. These decisions contributed to the tax cut culture after the periods of high economic growth, but economic stagnation during the 1970s prompted new pork barrel spending which added public work expenditures. Unfortunately recent unprecedented national government debt has made this such spending no longer sustainable and strengthened strong public resistance against tax increases ; this accelerates further national debt accumulation.
