More than half of Argentina’s 46 million people are now living in poverty, new figures indicate, in a blow to right-wing President Javier Milei’s efforts to turn around the country’s beleaguered economy.
The poverty figure for the first six months of this year was 52.9%, up from 41.7% in the second half of 2023, said the country’s Indec statistics agency.
And poverty in Argentina is something like $2.55US a day.
Four for the middle class, two for the lower class, and one for the upper class who don’t pay their accountants* enough.
Sounds like the Lord of the Rings
But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Tax was made.
One class to serve them all, laws and cops to bind them.
One class to rule them all, and raw greed to blind them.
6 is the highest number after all.
I rate this tax system a 5/7, perfect score
Everyone knows that 24 is the highest number.
(Don’t know why this is split into 3 parts)
Ronnie Dobs wants to speak to you. He’s mad at you for getting to this before I could. “Speak English mother fucker!”
I think we all agree that if you’re willing to fuck over large portions of the general public, like he did down there in Argentina, you can probably cut some costs. That approach comes with some risks, because the general public might not like it when you show them how you actually feel, and of course it would make you a terrible human being and disastrous leader.
And hey, having a simpler tax system always sounds good, and in many cases it probably would be good, but there’s a limit to the simplicity because people will find ways to game the system, and when they do so, either you shrug your shoulders or you make your tax laws more complex to deal with it.
Just 6? Surely Argentina’s already broken economy can not survive with so little tax revenue sources? I’m no economist but the only way I can see this even remotely working is if the rates of those 6 taxes are raised expectionally high.
He says he wants to reduce the number of taxes but not the revenue.
Why is that fucker still breathing?
That’s still too many. Just Tax Land!
