The alliance went to the polls to make it more profitable to work by cutting taxes for employees and by cutting social insurance and benefits. Internal party documents from the Moderates' time in government have already shown in the past that the intention of this was to lower minimum wages by making people so afraid that they wouldn't get a job they applied for that they asked for a lower wage than they really wanted or were worth. Now the facts show that the Alliance attacked the wage earners harder than that. At the same time as they lowered the employees' visible tax, they greatly increased the wage tax, which is a hidden tax among the social security contributions. The sharp increase in this enabled greater tax cuts for high earners, reductions in corporation tax and interest deductions for home owners, etc.
In addition, the Alliance government escaped a moral outcry that they reduced the sick pay which officially still stands at 80% of the salary. They did this by changing the calculation rules for the level of income qualifying for sickness benefit (SGI). The calculation changes reduced the sickness benefit level by 15%.
