過去七年臺灣由於經濟不景氣、家庭結構改變、以及服務業生產力提升緩慢，造成以高齡人口為主的最低所得組家庭一再出現負儲蓄。在東亞各個開發中國家投資的臺灣企業主，則利用「資訊不對稱」進行逃稅與資金套利。這兩股趨勢造成臺灣貧富差距擴大，也迫使政府必須儘快全面檢討與改變產業、租稅與社會福利政策。

In the past seven years, the general population of Taiwan has suffered massive cutbacks in income, due to change in family structure, low growth in productiveness, and the depressive economy in general. Low income families, especially the elderly, are starting to show negative savings in their accounts. Taiwanese industrial investment owners in developing Southeast Asian countries are now using “information dissymmetry” to evade taxes and interest arbitrage. These impacts have done more than just widening the gap between the rich and the poor, it is also forcing our government to start taking measures in taxes, industrial and social welfare systems in order to shift the economy once and for all.
