Discounting the crazies in the NMP for a moment, exactly what need is there for the federal government to steal away even more money from the people of Nyland at this time? The fact of the matter is, the government is already operating under a surplus budget; it makes zero sense whatsoever to draw more money out of the economy and out of the pockets of the people with literally no justifiable reason to do so.
More to the point, it is irresponsible finances to gather together a big pot of money to spend with no establish plan of needs. Responsible stewardship demands knowing what job needs done for the people of this country, and then determining the best, most efficient use of taxpayer funds to meet that job's demands. What programs is the administration seeking to employ that needs such a large influx of additional funds beyond what our current surplus can support? This assembly has seen nothing from the government regarding any new or expanded programs, no plans or purpose whatsoever, that demand the need for new revenues, so why should we further burden struggling families by increasing the failings of the Harrow Tax Plan and make basic life goods even more expensive, when we should be scrapping such taxes altogether?
Supposed "champions of the people," indeed!
Given this government's continual previous track record for attempting to seize expansive powers for no other reason than to just... have them, I can't say I'm surprised at yet another attempt by directionless socialists seeking to write for themselves yet another blank cheque to spend however they like at any later date based solely on undeserved blind trust.
A change in the tax plan is needed, certainly, I think I can speak for not only my fellow party but the people of this country that we neither need nor can we afford to increase the basic cost of simply putting food our tables and clothes on our backs, and NL will never support a plan to literally tax our poor to starvation for the sake of vague nanny-state visions.
