Yeah, because that's what Argentine needs... less government revenue.

Have you lived or do you live there?

Do you need to live somewhere to understand their macroeconomic policies?

Interesting choice. I wonder how they’ll come up with money then to pay for the people working government jobs, to maintain current infrastructure, and so on.

What is this firstpost.com? Why is this filed under sports? I only see this on Bloomberg, US News, and this site. I'm skeptical of accuracy

Argentina has a Congress.

That's just a proper noun that some countries use for their parliament.

There's a reason you wrote 'Congress' with a capital-C but the article wrote 'parliament' with a lowercase-P - the headline is using 'parliament' as a common noun (unlike, for example, the capital-P 'Parliament' of the United Kingdom where it's also used as the proper noun).

I'm no libertarian, but I can't be the only person that thinks this is great.
Income tax is the tax them because they're alive tax. I've always viewed it as a huge over reach

VAT is the tax them because they are alive tax. Income tax is one of the fairer taxes out there (if the tax bands are setup well) because it taxes people based on their means to pay (mostly)
