“While we have some objection to the tax rates and funding cuts, the inability to fix both of these in our own proposals makes it evident that this budget is the best we will get”

Rationale

For too long, the state has lived beyond its means, treating taxpayers as an endless resource while suffocating enterprise. This legislation cuts wasteful spending, trims bloated bureaucracies, and slashes unproductive foreign aid to focus public funds on vital infrastructure and business support. Crucially, it expands our national surplus, proving that true prosperity stems from living within our budget, lowering the tax burden on enterprise, and encouraging people to work harder and achieve more. Government has no money of its own, it only has what it takes from the people. By cutting spending and rewarding success, we ensure economic growth and real freedom. |
