15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
Economic views are strongly opposed to tax hikes, especially during a recession, as they undermine the competitiveness of businesses. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of reducing the state's excessively high operating costs before attempting to increase revenue through taxation. The speaker supports stimulating the economy by easing the burden on businesses.
