Economic views are strongly focused on redistribution and stimulating the economy through public investment. They demand shifting the tax burden from the poor to the rich, supporting the introduction of a bank tax and a progressive income tax. They oppose the established sales tax, increases in income tax, and the car tax, arguing that these measures impoverish citizens.

15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu's extraordinary session.
Economic perspectives are firmly opposed to tax hikes, arguing that they stifle both economic growth and consumption. It is stressed that these tax increases disproportionately affect lower-income individuals, resulting in sluggish consumption and ultimately lower tax revenue collection. The preference is for measures that actively stimulate economic growth.
