^Exactly. A reapportionment of tax dollars out of corporate welfare/bailouts, and into education and infrastructure.

No country can move forward by stealing people's money. Many of my friends used to have a shop back in the day, but since we all pay nearly 60%/70% of our salary in taxes they had to close, because no one has money to spend on leisure, leaving those who worked for them jobless.
Businesses closing means less work (REAL private work, I mean). Those who have a lot of money in Argentina are in the public sector and are, basically, parasites.
Half the people live on the money the govt steals to the other half, either by being a public worker or living on welfare. The recipients get paid more if they have more kids, so the power of the left is increasing at alarming speeds and we are in the brink of a civil war. Nowadays, close to 35% of the country lives on welfare and they organize strikes every day in order to ask for more money.
Of course, tech goods and goods in general can cost up to five times what they cost in the USA. High taxes and less money mean less demand. For instance, we have to pay close to one thousand dollars if we want a PS4.

Those who are socialists, please move to Argentina. You'll have a house and money each month by resting on a sofa.

Your posts are always fascinating. Keep posting about what is happening in that part of the world. Smile
