| Message | Reducing sales tax encourage the consumption and economic activity - and, maybe, this increase will recover part of the loss of governmental income due to this law. Also, our proposed tax on religious institutions will help to reduce the impact on public finances. Furthermore, this reduction has a positive impact on the well-being of the poorer member of our society, since they spend a bigger ammount of their incomes on essential goods. - Alexandra Asakura, economist and member of OPP. |
