Increasing taxes is not the solution: Palmer United Party

Palmer United Party candidate for Franklin, Marti Zucco said today “Federal Labor has proven increasing taxes does not solve the issues facing Australia’s economy.

Marti Zucco said Australia’s politicians run the biggest balance sheet in the country and their answer to everything is to increase taxes or slash funding.

“Prime Minister Kevin Rudd should be looking to stimulate the economy instead of simply making more cuts to previous Treasurer Wayne Swan’s budget and increasing taxes,” he said.

“Increasing taxes, cutting funds and closing loopholes is the easy option which is only going to achieve short term gain.

“The government needs to make smart and well thought out decisions that will ensure long term prosperity for Australia.

“The Palmer United Party will make more funds available to Australian families and businesses by reducing taxes.

“Reducing taxes will encourage more circulation of money. The more money is circulated the more times GST is paid and this generates a greater return for the government as well as greater prosperity for everyday Australians.”
