The speaker objects to the imposition of new taxes (Car tax, VAT, excise duties, corporate income tax) that feed into the state budget, arguing that they disproportionately affect the poorer population and rural regions. While supporting regional equalization, he insists that it must be financed by state revenue cuts, rather than by redistributing funds among local municipalities. He suggests the state should promote private car ownership in rural areas, viewing it as a more cost-effective solution for the government than organizing expensive public transportation.

Economic perspectives are strongly opposed to tax increases, criticizing the government’s chosen path for stabilizing public finances, which has been dubbed the "tax hike rally." They emphasize the necessity of finding alternatives to increasing the tax burden, pointing to the different choices made by neighboring countries despite facing the same external factors.
