The Brazilian government is selling its new tax reform as a win for the people—raising the income tax exemption while making the so-called “super rich” pay more. But who are these “super rich” exactly? Well, if you’re making around $100K a year, congratulations! You’re now a part of the elite, at least according to Brazil’s new tax plan.

In this episode, we break down the hidden cost of this reform, the economic consequences of taxing productivity, and why even if the rich don’t leave, this policy will still fail. We look at historical examples from France, Sweden, and the U.S. to see what happens when governments try to “tax the rich”—and why it never works as planned.

Finally, we discuss the libertarian take: If you want to be productive and keep the fruits of your labor, maybe it’s time to start looking for a place that won’t punish you for success.

In this episode of The Libertario, we break down the recent protests in Argentina, where retirees demanding higher pensions clashed with the police—joined by an unexpected group: soccer fans.

Were these protests a legitimate form of resistance, or were they an unjustified disruption? Did Milei overstep by using force, or was it necessary to restore order? More importantly, how do protests fit within libertarian principles—especially when public property is involved?

In this episode, we dive into the latest round of tariffs the US has imposed on Canada and Mexico, slapping a 25% tax on goods crossing the border. The goal, according to the government, is to bring back jobs and boost the domestic economy — but does that actually work? Or do tariffs just end up being a hidden tax on American businesses and consumers?
