| Message | I'm wary of taxes on products since I think it discourages buying. Income taxes are more effective and do not discourage important spending. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
