This clearly shows Halkitis is living in la la land.
Bran is right, the laziest thing is to just raise taxes and take from people, rather than find creative ways to raise money that do not burden the population. This government needs to go, and go fast. They are just killing this country.
Did this brain dead Cabinet minister ever stop to think that the last three years Covid shut down this country, so businesses were not making money. And then this non creative thinking government just decided to tax the country into the ground, so the 47% is not able to make anything.

Maybe it would be a novel idea for the government to not just hold the line on spending, but decrease expenditure to build the confidence of its own citizens that it can govern.
