Supports strong fiscal discipline and expresses concern that expenditures exceed revenues in the state budget. It supports simplifying the tax system (raising the threshold for the business account) and immediate tax payment to prevent employment contracts from being replaced by business accounts, which would reduce tax revenue. It opposes tax schemes (such as VAT on real estate) and opaque savings plans, emphasizing the need to introduce additional funds into the state budget (e.g., through a car tax to contribute to road maintenance).
