Regarding transfer prices

Through the abuses in transfer prices used by operations within firms and the forgery of commerce billing, leading world companies evade 500 billion dollars in taxes every year. While the bulkiest losses are registered in countries such as United States and Japan, estimations done by the Wider Institute, dependent on United Nations, reveal that the impact is more significant among developing countries. In Argentina, the loss of fiscal revenues as a consequence of evasion techniques used by large corporations represent up to 4.42% of the GDP.

Regarding an affront that repeats itself

Argentineans will barely have enough to pay for our food every day. And when industries get liquidated and unemployment begins, then there will be many of us who will not have enough even to pay for such food. That will be the time of the deliberated and consciously provoked crisis (…) Thus, there will be no other course but to incur in new debts and definitively mortgage our destiny. Then the time will come for addressing difficulties by the alienation of our own goods, such as trains, merchant fleet, or powerhouses.

Regarding who knows about football

Who knows about football? He who wins? I think not. I believe that who knows is who leaves more teaching behind.
