The speaker vehemently opposes tax increases (car tax, VAT, taxation of pensions), arguing that they are ruining businesses and impoverishing the population. He criticizes the government's financial policy as "bungling" and "corrupt," which wastes taxpayer money (e.g., on IT development in Kenya, and wind farms). He advocates for creating economic growth, not raising taxes, stressing that Estonia is the world's worst performer in the current recession. He views the government's actions as the "Stalinist" destruction of property.
