Martin Litwak: Javier Milei Must Target Toxic Taxation
Mart\xedn Litwak\u2014an Argentine tax and wealth structuring expert\u2014explains that the next three months are key to the Javier Milei administration for implementation of liberal reforms. Milei is enjoying a honeymoon period, and Argentines are on their summer vacations.\n\nAlthough Litwak expressed his excitement regarding a liberal government to be in power in Argentina and deregulate the economy, he is concerned the Milei administration has not led with tax cuts. Litwak contends that although Argentina has 170 taxes, 10 of them generate more than 92 percent of the state\u2019s revenue. Further, since the burden is so high there is the potential to remove the other 160 and still bring in more revenue, following the logic of the Laffer Curve.\n\nFor Litwak, Milei\u2019s presidency can be either a total success or a complete failure; there is no middle ground. The latter will be a disaster for Argentina, since it will invite a return to power of Peronismo. Litwak also contends that the left will continue to fight in the streets against the incumbent administration\u2019s policies.\n\nShow notes: https://impunityobserver.com/2024/01/15/martin-litwak-javier-milei-must-target-toxic-taxation/
