I believe in the principle that if you have more competition, it will drive down the prices.

We must keep prices under control to ensure that price increases do not exert a major negative impact on people's lives.

To economists, prices serve as crucial signals to producers and consumers. In a regulated market, the state sets prices high enough for private companies to cover their costs and earn a guaranteed profit for their investors. But in a deregulated market, prices should vary with demand and supply.

Well, I think lower taxes and less regulation would actually promote growth.

When the government mandates that everyone must buy a product, its sellers can, and will, increase its price, potentially without limit.

I don't think we can go back to the old days. But I think that what the government needs to do is it needs to make sure that the pricing is fair, that you don't have monopolies out there, so that people don't have a chance to compete fairly.

That means following a very restrictive fiscal and monetary policy which will squeeze the monopolies and cut their subsidies. On the micro level we will allow other economic agents, both domestic and foreign, to compete with them.

As consumers and as voters we can say 'no' to rogue economics and demand regulation.

Here's the problem if you keep raising tax rates: You slow down economic growth.
