Those who say tax cuts are not priority are jerks - Salvini

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 25 - Deputy Premier and Transport and Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini said on Saturday anyone who claims lowering taxes is not a priority is a "jerk".
    "Someone has even managed to claim the priority is not lowering taxes. He is a jerk, because he obviously has 10 million in his pocket," said Salvini, who is also secretary of the right-wing League party.
    "But lowering taxes is a priority for me, for the League and for the government," he insisted.
    "How can you say that the flat tax, public works and the bridge over the Strait (of Messina) are not priorities? It doesn't take a scientist" to figure it out, Salvini concluded. (ANSA).
