MessageThe levels of income taxation placed on higher earners was outrageous, not thought through and damaging to the economy. The 70% rate is only used by the most socialist wealth-fearing governments in Terra and is purely a tool of politicians to demonstrate to the poor that they are punishing the successful. It actually raises no additional revenue and only serves in continuing a flight of wealth outside of the country. We want to make this country business friendly and open to investment. An aspect of opening up the economy is to attract investors and keep them here. Having degrading levels of taxation on success not only stops investors and entrepreneurs from returning to Pontesi but, as a result, it hurts our lower income taxpayers who do not benefit from a higher employment rate.

The reduction in the astronomical 33% tax on non-essential items is necessary in order to inhibit the significant inflation rate which is a result of rising prices. There is far more to the economy than simple taxation and so we should be attempting to lower prices, increase consumer spending, lower inflation and establish Pontesi as a vibrant economy rather than one weighed down by excessive taxation and inflation.
