Equivalent to a PM stating that he doesn't trust the private sector.
All around weird thing to say. I'm not sure there's alot of political hay to make to say you hate all taxes. Especially as your population is aging, you're running huge deficits, you're bailing out corporations for billions of dollars, supporting a war in Afghanistan.

Haha, he didn't say he was going to cut taxes, just that there are no good taxes. As a taxpayer and a supporter of public services, I still agree with him. I wish taxes were not necessary, but sadly, they are.
