| Message | Party Chair Lars Hardil (SDP) "Let's tax those items that people don't need to make it in their day to day life. Food, clothing, shelter are necessities and the government should not seek to make subsistence more difficult than it already is for the working class. We can provide relief for those simply trying to get by, while asking those who do wish to purchase luxuries to pay a little bit more." |
