Economic views are strongly opposed to taxes and regulations, particularly concerning the expansion of the CO2 quota, which reduces Estonia’s competitiveness and deepens the economic recession. They advocate for eliminating arbitrary taxation that burdens entrepreneurship. State expenditures (Rail Baltic, the follies of the green transition) are criticized as merely fattening up bureaucratic structures and large corporations, rather than strengthening the economy.

Economic views are critical of the current energy policy, which is expensive, resource-intensive, and pushing the economy into recession. The speaker emphasizes that developer profits must not come at the expense of the taxpayer and the consumer, criticizing state subsidies and the inadequacy of land usage fees. He notes with concern the decline of the Estonian economy in the first quarter and asks how to prevent tax revenue from fleeing to Latvia.

The economic platform is heavily focused on reducing the tax burden (specifically the electricity excise tax and income tax on pensions) and eliminating bureaucracy (such as ESG reporting and overlapping controls). The speaker opposes the introduction of cheap foreign labor, arguing that it stifles wage growth and innovation while harming honest businesses. They support ensuring energy security through domestic oil shale energy production to achieve lower electricity prices and enhance Estonia's competitiveness.

The speaker is in favor of stimulating the economy and slashing the tax burden, while simultaneously opposing the imposition of quotas that pressure businesses with a 400,000-euro fine. He criticizes the car tax, calling it a wealth tax collected from the less affluent to subsidize the purchase of electric vehicles. He supports controllable domestic energy production methods (oil shale, nuclear power) to kickstart the economy.

Economic views are strongly right-wing, supporting the lowering of income tax to 20% to stimulate the economy and boost people's purchasing power. The speaker is fiercely opposed to state subsidies for profitable business projects (like wind energy), viewing them as an unfair redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich. He criticizes the government's tax hikes (such as the car tax) and massive spending (Rail Baltic, renewable energy subsidies) as a waste of taxpayer money that fails to serve the national interest.

Economic perspectives are critical of the government's policies, which have resulted in a decline in competitiveness and a rise in bureaucracy (sustainability reports). There is strong opposition to state subsidies and benefits provided to "small businesses" (wind energy), with suspicions that the government is engaged in an energy bluff. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of protecting the finances of the state and local municipalities from irresponsible developers who operate as shell companies with zero employees and zero taxes.

The politician advocates for fiscal discipline and austerity, supporting cuts and control over public sector expenditures. He opposes renewable energy subsidies that burden consumers and demands fair competition for supporting regulated production capacities. He criticizes the government's tax policy (the car tax), which unfairly impacts socially vulnerable groups.
