15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu's extraordinary session.
The speaker demonstrates knowledge of macroeconomics, highlighting the impact of tax hikes on economic growth and consumption. This expertise is bolstered by the use of a quote from Swedbank's chief economist, Tõnu Mertsina, to strengthen the argument regarding the negative effect of tax increases on lower-income individuals.

15th Riigikogu, Extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The speaker demonstrates an understanding of the socio-economic impact of tax policy, specifically focusing on the negative consequences of the proposed car tax. They employ general economic arguments (that tax hikes impede economic growth) and social arguments (that the tax disproportionately affects the poor and restricts mobility). No specific data or technical jargon is presented; the analysis relies instead on a broader assessment of the impact.
