Note: 'taxes' and 'taxation' are two different things, numerically.

What's the difference?

What's the difference?

Eliminating some taxes does not necessarily equate to reducing 'national taxation' levels.

In this case a bunch of special taxes that don't collect much revenue, cost too much to enforce relative to revenue collected, etc.

The bigger taxes (by revenue collected) like income and VAT aren't being dropped. Revenues from those might even increase because these other taxes probably reduce taxable economic activities with those, like the Export Tax.

"Under the proposed reforms, the number of national taxes will drop from 167 to fewer than 20, focusing primarily on value-added tax (VAT) and income tax. The plan also includes the elimination of export taxes, which Milei described as detrimental to Argentina's agricultural sector—a critical component of the country’s economy."

John Stossel tips his hat to Milei:

The Libertarian National Leader Libertarians have been hoping for since the 1970s...

... and a quarter of them hate his guts despite what he does...

.... because he doesn't like Hans Herman-Hoppe.

That's the problem.

No hoarding of silver, please!

Those with wealth are free to turn in their metal for paper, but not to pay wages in paper.

Hey, they're always saying the paper has nothing wrong with it, as good as the Real Thing, so let them keep it!

The working classes can be burdened by the metal while the well off enjoy their convenient paper representations.

Hoppe is jealy



Those who can, do.
Those who can't, get chairs at public universities, retire, then gripe about those who can do.

Noooooooooo!

I wouldn't put it past Argentinians to go back to some Commie cunt next election cycle. Just like Brazilians ditched Bolsonaro for old crusty Red Lula.

Because they most likely side with leftists' fake feminism.

I think the election was stolen from Bolsonaro.
