Since the beginning of the government, Bolsonaro supporters have lied that Haddad would imitate Bolsonaro’s Finance Minister: he would try to tax the . The video in which he defends taxing Pix is on the internet, and it is true. The video in which Haddad defends taxing Pix is also on the internet, but it is a forgery made with artificial intelligence.
Therefore, any measure that the government took regarding Pix should have been adopted with extreme care and accompanied by a massive clarification campaign.
It wasn’t. The Bolsonarist disinformation machine kicked against an open goal.
The big winner of the week was the deputy (PL-MG), who broke all audience records.
Nikolas knew how to exploit a vulnerable audience: many people who watched his video started using banking services recently, attracted by Pix or online services.
Anyone who has always used a bank is already monitored by the IRS in the same way that Pix would be. The vast majority of bank customers may not even know that this inspection exists, because they have never been bothered by it, as Pix users would not be.
But this inspection is important to combat corruption.
For example, the purchase of the senator’s mansion, made exclusively with cash, aroused suspicions: this is the typical behavior of a thieving politician who wants to escape IRS supervision so as not to have to explain where his money came from. For those who lie that they invented Pix, the Bolsonaro family seems to like cash a lot.
As journalist Gabriela Prioli noted in a video on Instagram, small entrepreneurs fear not being able to pay taxes. Sometimes they can’t. Hence the fear and the propensity to believe in people like Nikolas Ferreira.
The Lula government has already proposed a solution for this: exempting those earning up to R$5,000 per month from income tax. If Nikolas and his party support the measure, all the fears expressed in the video become meaningless. Are you going to do this, Nikolas?
In order to be able to exempt the poor, it is necessary to tax the rich, at least so that they start paying taxes like everyone else. No, they don’t pay.
Nikolas, how did your party vote when Haddad tried to end tax exemptions for companies, or Perse, or public service super salaries? How do you intend to vote when Lula proposes that the rich pay a minimum effective income tax rate of 10%?
And no, Nikolas, evading taxes is not resisting an inefficient State. It means increasing taxes for those who pay. If tax evasion fell, taxes could be lower. Your video, in which you defend tax evasion, helps keep them high.
It is your right that works in Congress so that the fiscal adjustment is made entirely on the poor, Nikolas. Small entrepreneurs evade because you don’t accept Haddad’s proposal to exempt them from taxes within the law. They pay more tax because the rich who support Bolsonarism pay less.
Nikolas, you’ve already said that the problem in Brazil is a lack of men. If that’s true, I’m sorry: for you to help your country, you’ll have to learn that a man is a type of adult.
