Yesterday morning, the president of the trade union central indicated that the government made a “big racket with little-flavored ads” with a statement “that nor means nothing to the 70% of the population that earn less than $50,000″. “They taxes increasedthrough another way,” said Abdala, adding that “cWith the reduction of the IASS they benefit the highest retirements”.
Lacalle responded to Abdala’s proposal hours later, and criticized that “it is not true” what the trade unionist expressed.
“Get thinking about a police, teacher, health officer who has to pay personal income tax, rent, Now you are going to pay less or you are not going to pay at all. Go tell them that it is a measure that is not worth it. Plus it’s money He’s going to be in the neighborhood, he’s going back to the store to pay the billsis not going to buy treasury bonds They are not going to go on vacation to Miami”said the president.
“It’s kind of weird, because First they said that there was no need to cut taxes and now they say that it is insufficient. Let them decide What’s behind is something systematic. We go to one side and they hit us, we go to another and they hit us. It’s an unconscious, automatic reaction.”Lacalle added.
