πββοΈ The gravedigger and the milker. Colombia's President Espriella broke his own promise to lower taxes π¨π΄ Colombia's right-wing leader, elected this summer and who promised the population mountains of gold for three kopecks, promised in his programme to lower taxes, which attracted a considerable part of small business and the well-off urban population. By cutting spending on social programmes, Espriella promised to reduce the budget deficit. Thus the tax cut logically followed from this cruel neoliberal logic. But that was not to be. π‘ Furious Abelardo set out to defeat Colombia's organised crime and guerrilla groups by force: this will inevitably lead to repeating the mistakes of his right-wing predecessors and to new outbreaks of violence in Colombia. For these purposes, naturally, the war machine needs fuel β a lot of money. That is why taxes are indeed planned to be lowered, but only for big business. Medium and small entrepreneurs, like ordinary working people, must content themselves with what there is. π° And now watch closely. The treasury will not receive more money, because the share that big capital used to take into the shadows will legally remain with it, and the real figures will merely be reconciled with the paper ones. Working people and small entrepreneurs will have to finance a bloody slaughter in which they themselves will die, instead of the social support that the Β«inefficientΒ» Gustavo Petro provided them. π The situation is like the widely known joke about cowboys β they ate dung but earned no money. Only the price is real human suffering and lives. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America βοΈ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
