The only society in which such rights and principles are respected is a free market economy. The free market economy is the only social system in which personal freedom, freedom of trade and establishment, private ownership, and freedom of contract are fully respected. Privatisations and significant reductions of the public sector reduce public spending and pave the way for tax cuts. Taxes equal confiscation. Through taxation, citizens are deprived of income and wealth which rightfully belong to them.
Taxes thus diminish personal freedom.
As the Progress Party wants to maximise individual liberty, the party endeavours to cut all taxes as much as possible, staring with the phasing out of the unjust as well as harmful income tax. The Party feels that the laws which are supposed to protect the population against the violation of individual liberties and private property rights should be tightened. The Party also advocates a tough stance against physical violence, which is the worst imaginable violation of both personal liberty and private property. The Progress Party is thus opposed to any infringement of individual rights and, in particular, if this infringement is perpetrated by the State. Individual liberty combined with market economy is by far the fairest and most efficient social system available to mankind.
