The above title was not given by Századvég, but by us, but it does not change the essence.
Details from the foundation analysis follow.
The left, characterized by Gergely Karácsony and Ferenc Gyurcsány, came before the voters with plans to increase taxes, which intend to suspend the tax reduction and family support policy implemented by the civilian government over the past 11 years. In many cases, the left's election program contains deductions that threaten the financial freedom of Hungarians.
The planned increase in taxes and deductions would result in the monthly net income of those living on wages and salaries falling in the same way as was typical during the period under the left-liberal government before 2010.
Századvég examined the financial dangers lurking for the electorate if Gergely Karácsony were to realize his economic ideas in the event of the left-wing coming to power in 2022.
The economic policy program of the 99 Movement led by Gergely Karácsony would have a negative impact on the financial freedom of Hungarians, as it would implement a multitude of plans to increase public burdens at the national level with the already well-known attitude of the left-wing municipalities.
Karácsony's ideas are in line with the local government policy followed by the left-liberal city leaders for the past year and a half, which includes rent increases, construction and land tax increases, the introduction of a nursery school reimbursement fee, the withdrawal of the 13th month's allowance and benefits, the withdrawal of support for access to real estate, and the child feeding characterized by an increase in fees.
after the Bokros package and the austerity measures of Ferenc Gyurcsány and Gordon Bajnai, the domestic left The left-liberal 99 Movement has made it clear that it is preparing to raise taxes in many areas,
It would partially abolish the well-proven low-level, single-rate personal income tax system. It is important to emphasize that the tax regulation currently in force has lived up to expectations, it ensures the fair operation of the system, as those with higher incomes still pay more taxes. However, the multi-rate personal income tax planned to be introduced by the left would harm a wide range of stakeholders and would unfairly punish better performance.
The realization of the plans of the left-liberal bloc led by Gyurcsány would mean a large financial deprivation for the middle class, which fuels the engine of the Hungarian economy by stimulating consumption. The principle of "
we cry together, we laugh together" works especially well from the point of view of the national economy, so if the middle class were to be cut off, as the Karácsonys are planning, everyone living and doing business in Hungary would be financially harmed.
In addition, the left-liberal movement would impose a "green tax and green levy", which would also burden consumers. The plans to introduce a uniform green tax affecting households in the territory of the European Union are known, and according to the signs, the Karácsonys - instead of protecting domestic consumers - in their program directly state that Hungarian families would also be charged the tax to be paid after consumption and energy use. green tax. This step could also mean that domestic households could be taxed to the same extent as, for example, German taxpayers, and the expenditure ratio made predictable by the reduction in utilities would be in jeopardy.
