Twenty-five percent on the lowest incomes is just plain robbery—half a worker’s paycheck gone before they even see it. It’s obscene to tax people who are already struggling to put food on the table, and we won’t stand for it any longer—cut it to 5% and let people keep what they earn.

“Reduce the lowest income tax rate from 25% to 5% for low-income workers. The reform will be introduced in the next tax year, with the lost revenue partly offset by reducing unnecessary government spending and closing tax loopholes. Higher income tax rates will remain unchanged. The policy will focus on protecting low-income households while maintaining fiscal stability.”
