“Generational change in how tax is collected and applied is called for. The government should shift the tax burden from those who produce to those who pollute.”
Joseph Muscat
““Governments need to be able to look people straight in the eye and tell them what is needed, the people know they need to make sacrifices,and that neither government nor the opposition have “a magic wand” that can fix things. But we need to show taxpayers the whole picture, not a picture that changes from one election to the next.”
“A Labour government would ensure that it was the well off who carried the heaviest burdens and now those with a small income. The people would understand the need for sacrifices when they could see that taxes were raised fairly and spent wisely.”
“A Labour government would be a governemnt which would put the country’s not the party’s interest first.”
“A Labour government would be honest with the people. The people would accept sacrifices when the country’s real situation was explained to them rather than being told one thing before the election, and something different afterwards.”
“A Labour government would build on what was good and would not bring in changes for the sake of change but would instead focus on the country’s real needs.”
“A future Labour government would base itself on meritocracy not mediocrity, as at present. This would be a government based on a movement which went beyond the limits of a traditional political party”
