As a social democratic party that works for social reform and social renewal in order to ensure inclusive growth and development, a UDM government will adopt pro-poor economic growth policies that seek to redistribute income, eradicate poverty, reduce inequality and ensure prosperity for all South Africans. For instance, one of the issues that we would do if we were to be in power, we would make sure that we cut Value Added Tax, VAT, back to 14% and increase corporate income tax as well as introduce wealth tax in order to redistribute all of that income to the poor.
