Ernst Stocker: "The cantonal parliament is more reckless with tax revenues than my grandson with his pocket money"

Stocker criticizes the cantonal parliament's handling of tax revenues

Ernst Stocker, a member of the cantonal parliament for the SVP, has criticized the parliament's handling of tax revenues. In an interview with the newspaper "Der Bund", Stocker said that the parliament is "more reckless with tax revenues than my grandson with his pocket money".

Stocker's concerns

Stocker's concerns center on the parliament's decision to reduce taxes by 100 million francs. He argues that this decision is irresponsible because it will lead to a reduction in public services.

Stocker also argues that the parliament is not doing enough to reduce government spending. He says that the government should be cutting spending by 5% per year in order to reduce the deficit.

Government's response

The government has defended its handling of tax revenues. It says that the tax cuts are necessary to stimulate the economy.

The government also says that it is committed to reducing government spending. It has already implemented a number of spending cuts, and it plans to implement more in the future.

Analysis

It is too early to say whether Stocker's concerns are justified. The government's tax cuts have only been in place for a few months, and it will take some time to see what the impact will be.

However, it is clear that Stocker's concerns are shared by many people. A recent poll found that 60% of Swiss people believe that the government is not doing enough to reduce government spending.

It is important to have a debate about the government's handling of tax revenues and spending. This debate will help to ensure that the government is making the best possible decisions for the people of Switzerland.
