Death to taxes, regulations and the cold hand of the state…

Joel Bowman, with today’s Note From the End of the World: Buenos Aires, Argentina…
It’s a cold day in Libertarian Hell, dear reader.
Taxes – said to be, along with death, one of life’s unpleasant inevitabilities – are gradually being rolled back down at the End of the World…
Speaking at the Catholic University of Argentina (UCA) yesterday, Luis “Toto” Caputo, the nation’s top economic minister, confirmed that the impuesto PAIS (a tax that is applied to purchases of foreign services, including purchases of foreign currency for savings purposes, and purchases made with foreign cards) will be lowered from 17.5% to 7.5% as part of a series of policies designed to return purchasing power to the free market.
“This will contribute to lowering inflation,” Caputo told the audience of mostly faculty and students from the university’s economics department. “If we want to do something for those who have less, the most important thing is to end the scourge of inflation.”
Hell is only the truth realized too late.
It will be realized too late here as well.
Socialism/Communism doesn’t work.
Unless you are out to burn it all down better.
And fundamentally transform in a third rake fake and GAE CCCP reset.
These things happen when your species is not a learning animal.
