Never heard of him? There’s a reason for that…
While those whose memory of the Trump Administration is nothing more than a Black Hole, they continually scream that they have no idea of how a Trump victory in two weeks will affect our nation and the world.
Other than doom and gloom 24/7 that is.
So, for those same numbskulls with selective amnesia, there’s always the example of Argentinian President Javier Milei, long touted as the South American nation’s version of Donald Trump.
As seen in the video below, Milei is quite famous for his rather animated enthusiasm for everything Right-Wing. You know, small things like taking a chainsaw to a bloated federal bureaucracy, as well as making the free market great again (sarcasm off).
The latest example would be Milei’s completely shutting down Argentina’s version of the IRS.
As reported by Katarina Hall of Reason.com (emphasis mine);
Argentine President Javier Milei announced plans to shut down the country’s tax collection agency, a bold step in his ongoing effort to slash government spending and bureaucracy.
On Monday, presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni confirmed that the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (AFIP), Argentina’s tax bureau, will “cease to exist.” It will be replaced by a newly formed agency, the Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero (ARCA), which will assume some of its functions.
“Throughout its existence, this agency has functioned as a political cash box and, as we all know, many Argentines have been subjected to absolutely immoral persecutions,” Adorni’s statement reads. “No State bureaucrat should be delegated the power to tell an Argentinean what to do with his property.”
The closure of AFIP is framed as “essential to dismantle the unnecessary bureaucracy that has hindered the economic and commercial freedom of Argentines.” ARCA, the new agency, will embody a “simple, more efficient, less costly, and less bureaucratic” approach to tax collection and customs control.
