Current FM and PM hopeful Tzipi" I need to get the hair out of my eyes" Livni has blasted both the Shas and Labor parties for trying to use the economic recovery plan for political gain.
According to an article in Globes, Livni said, "It is infuriating to see political parties trying to make partisan gain at the public's expense. The opposition of the Labor Party and Shas to the emergency plan demonstrates why people should not vote for sector-based parties.The opposition of the Labor Party and Shas to the emergency plan demonstrates why people should not vote for sector-based parties."
Though i hate to admit it, i agree with her that they shouldn't try to make political hay out of an economic crisis. More so spending money on welfare payments and infrastructure projects is no answer. The clear answer to help extricate Israel from an economic slowdown is by cutting taxes, and making easier for small and mid-sized businesses to actually conduct business in Israel. Along with income tax cuts, we need corporate taxes to be trimmed and we need to give small businesses large scale relief in paying Arnona (municipal tax.)
As for Livni, she complained that, "It is infuriating to see political parties trying to make partisan gain at the public's expense." I have one quick question for her. Ever hear of the Kadima party?
