The primary goal is to get the rising costs of healthcare under control.
Vorrangiges Ziel ist es, die steigenden Kosten im Gesundheitswesen in den Griff zu bekommen.
Pensions for married couples
For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Clearly yes, no life model should be at a tax disadvantage anymore and the marriage penalty should finally be abolished.
Ganz klar ja, es darf kein Lebensmodell mehr steuerlich benachteiligt sein und die Heiratsstrafe ist endlich abzuschaffen.
Reduce LPP pensions
As part of the reform of the BVG (occupational pension plan), pensions are to be reduced (lowering the minimum conversion rate from 6.8% to 6%). Are you in favor of this measure?

Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, because if the federal government makes a regulation for this, SMEs will no longer be at a disadvantage. Larger companies are already implementing such offers and thus have a competitive advantage, so there needs to be a level playing field. However, not 38 weeks, 20 - 22 are sufficient.
Ja, weil wenn der Bund hierfür eine Regelung trifft, auch KMUs nicht mehr benachteiligt sind. Grössere Firmen setzten solche Angebote bereits um und haben so einen Wettbewerbsvorteil, es braucht deshalb gleich lange Spiesse. Allerdings nicht 38 Wochen, 20 - 22 sind ausreichend.

Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Basically, the decision lies with the cantons. The federal government should be able to engage in an exchange. It is important to me that we continue to strengthen vocational education but not play it off against the grammar school route.

The federal government is very burdened with many additional expenditures. But we should finally abolish the marriage penalty at the federal level, because it is unfair.

Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We need finite fair taxes for all life models. This can be achieved with the alternative tax calculation. Married couples continue to file only one tax return. This also does not provide for an increased administrative burden.
Wir brauchen endliche faire Steuern für alle Lebensmodelle. Dies kann mit der alternativen Steuerberechnung erreicht werden. Ehepaare reichen weiterhin nur eine Steuererklärung ein. Dies sorgt auch nicht für einen erhöhten administrativen Aufwand.

It is now important for our social security system to first get the BVG revision (2nd pillar) through politically. We cannot make the demand for an increase in the retirement age capable of gaining majority support at the present time.
Es ist jetzt wichtig für unsere Sozialwerke, zuerst die BVG Revision (2. Säule) politisch durchzubringen. Die Forderung nach einer Erhöhung des Rentenalters können wir zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nicht mehrheitsfähig machen.
