Editorial History of checks and delusions. By Miguel A. Morra There was once a payment instrument called a check. It was a payment order issued against a bank, so that upon presentation, it would pay the stipulated amount, previously deposited in a checking account by the issuer. If the issuer does not have funds, he can go to prison for a fraudster. An INSTITUTION that works perfectly Someone with little work but well paid through taxes forced to pay entrepreneurs, said: "It is too simple and since we have nothing to do, let's invent something " and the deferred pay check appeared, which is actually a hybrid called check but it is a promissory note receivable in a bank . Time passed and another said "it's still too easy" and invented the cancellation check , which is actually a borrowed check and complicated to obtain. 4
This time, they went back; It was so complicated that it had to be made optional for some operations and therefore it was practically obsolete. And then the financial check appeared, which is a borrowed check, similar to the cancellation but, apparently simpler. To all this to the coherent original check that works as it should, we had to call it a Common Check to be able to differentiate it, even if it is the only one that is a true check. All these are inventions of officials and legislators that hinder the normal operation of the economy but apparently they serve to collect taxes that also serve to ensure the payment of their own salaries, whether they do things right or wrong. How interesting would it ever be to do the reverse : We could propose the creation of another type of checks: The conditional paycheck : It would be like the deferred check , usable only to pay 8 0% of taxes. The state would use them to pay the salaries of
state officials, legislators and retirees that exceed a certain amount. These checks would be paid only in proportion to the growth indicators of the economy according to a specific goal. If the economy does not grow, they would lose their value. For example: growth goal of the year 5%. Real growth 0%, are not paid, real growth 1% (or 20% of the growth target ) was paid on 20% of checks conditional payment and the rest would be lost. If they do things well in the public sector, they charge, if they do things wrong they do not charge and the tax cut would be automatic. It is a somewhat delusional idea, but very close in its quality to laws proposed and approved by our Argentine officials and legislators , since in the last 70 years with their interventionist mental delusions to try to fix the consequences caused by their previous delusions they have managed to ruin all the institutions you can imagine. 6
There is no worse consequence for hard-working and enterprising people than the interventionist delusion of rulers who ALWAYS try to restrict individual freedoms and decide for others. To have ruined a useful and centuriesold INSTITUTION like the check is a good example of delusion and therefore of lack of capacity and reasoning. And only by analyzing the everyday will we realize all the others that have been perverted by these delusions. The solution; simply liberalism. A hug, and good reading.

Present Coronavirus By Emilio Grande (h) "The coronavirus statistics are liars and manipulative" Is the opinió n the D octor Mariano Arriaga, coordinator of "Doctors for truth" in Argentina and the region, in the "Sabado 100" El Espectador radio (100.1 FM) program. He will come to Rafaela in mid-May. It questions the pandemic, the prohibition of autopsies to determine death in the case of those infected, tests and the vaccine that is experimental without being able to claim the laboratory in case of contraindication or that causes death. For quite some time the group "Doctors for the truth", which spread to different parts of the world, has been publicly questioning the pandemic, considering it a " plandemic " and also the eternal quarantine that existed in Argentina. 8
“The pandemic is a falsehood and to be able to declare it they had to change the definition in the WHO (World Health Organization) so that it is framed. This famous virus was never isolated on the planet, so it cannot be defined as a virus different from the rest of the usual coronaviruses of all the infections that we have annually such as flu syndromes ", as stated by Dr. Mariano Arriaga, coordinator of" Doctors for the truth ”in Argentina and the region, during the program“ Sábado 100 ”by radio El Espectador (FM 100.1) of Rafaela, hosted by the person signing this interview. And he added: “the degree of mortality that they report in the world is 0.02%, and if you catch hantavirus in Bolson, mortality is 53%. For us, the pandemic does not exist, nor is it a different virus or a different symptom picture from a normal flu ”. -Can you say that it is a strong flu? -Exactly, in the statistics of Germany last year more people died from influenza flu syndrome than from coronavirus syndrome. The only certification of certain
death is with an autopsy of the hand and they are prohibited by the Government since the quarantine was declared, so the statistics are lying and manipulative. In the world there is no autopsy that supports that a person died of coronavirus; Yes, there are hundreds of autopsies like those carried out by Dr. Pasquale Bacco in Italy, where more than 700 patients who were listed as dead from coronavirus, not one had died from this disease; this changed jurisprudence and medical protocol in Italy. -With regard to care, do you have to wash your hands, wear chinstraps, distancing yourself? -Care is similar to any common flu syndrome, eating well, being happy, meeting between people because it is essential for the natural transmission of viruses that coexist with us. The chinstrap is not indicated by the Ministry of Health or the WHO, with which it never had a medical criterion because it is a fabric whose pore is so large that it allows the virus to pass through the “highway”, it is not a barrier to entry or exit. 10
The distancing of the healthy, although it was a proposal of the initial protocol, does not have any logic and has already been withdrawn from the initial protocols of the world; That is why after Maradona's wake with more than 1 million people there was no growing peak in cases and neither were there after the marches for and against abortion at the end of last year, where thousands of people did not respond to the protocol. initial isolation. It never made sense and it is another of the control lies that they are promoting or with the declaration of a "state of siege" in Buenos Aires, the virus is more aggressive after 24 hours, closing restaurants and has no sanitary logic to support it. . -There are people who are infected with coronavirus and it does not affect them too much and there are other patients at risk who are complicated in their health, can this disease cause death? -Obviously, all flu syndrome can cause death, especially if it nests in a susceptible person. Why do they tell us that a person has coronavirus if the diagnostic test, the PCR, has 82% false results, which means that testing 100
people 82% gives me a non-scientific result, said by the same creator of the test Nobel laureate Dr. Kary Mullis . It is a totally nonspecific test to identify which virus is causing the disease, which it uses to quantify, not to identify it; we are using a wrong test in the diagnosis and it does not serve as an indicator of a statistic. -Your peers in Argentina question the "doctors for the truth" because they do not have a scientific basis, is it true or a lie? -We are using science and the scientific basis is very clear. When a judge has a murder or homicide, the first thing he asks for is the autopsy of the patient in order to have a certain cause of death, there is no other diagnosis, so if autopsies are prohibited, the scientific basis is the autopsy to determine the cause of death, without that we cannot say what he died of. -Do vaccines constitute an antibody and attenuate the disease? -All laboratories are telling you that it is experimental, that means it did not pass phase 3, it was not tested on animals and it is 12
essential to know that a vaccine is safe, that is, if it kills you or generates a side effect, if it is effective and if it works. On October 29, Senators approved a vaccine, which is experimental and draws a lot of attention, and in the same law there is impunity for all legal claims of side effects to the laboratory, which means that if the vaccine kills your father, it will not You can claim the laboratory that sold the vaccine. Someone explain to me if it is scientific, moral and ethical? Confidentiality was also approved, that is, the secret of what is inside the syringe. How can it be that the colleague or the Minister of Health who buys it does not know the component that is inside the vaccine in detail? We are not against all vaccines, but against this vaccine specifically. -Why does this group of doctors not have much space in the traditional media? -Simply because it is not provided, the media have another interest, they tell you that “we cannot talk about these issues”, for the same reason that they censor the videos or Facebook that they name 2 or 3 words. The media have the same owners as the laboratories on the planet and the banks,
that's where the game is understood. The one who maintains the WHO is Bill Gates, after former President Trump withdrew from the organization on the same grounds as us; He is a multimillionaire who was the first contributor of money and is one of the five interested in selling the vaccine in the world because he produces them. If there is no conflict of interest, we are naive. -You are traveling the country (at the time of the interview in the province of Jujuy) and in the month of May you will be in different places in the province of Santa Fe, including the city of Rafaela. What is the objective of this campaign? -Since September 21, 2020 we decided to hold public debates in squares, schools, retirement centers; they do not come to the debate when they are invited from the ruling party. The only way to have a debate when there is so much censorship is to go square by square, looking at people and generating talks so that they can empower themselves in a different sense that does not respond to fear, otherwise we are directed by world politics that will take us to control, fear and extreme 14
poverty. People join a lot because they know that they are lying to us, science supports us and within the World Organization for Life (OMV) with a legal organization from Italy we are hundreds of colleagues who maintain our argument is solid, simple and common sense because From the WHO they told us a year ago that 8 out of 10 people who were infected were going to die and that did not happen.

Stories Liechtenstein. By Natalia Motyl Liechtenstein, the richest country in the world, where citizens have more power than politicians
- It is a European country located in the Alps, on the banks of the Rhine between Switzerland and Austria, with an area of 160 km2, smaller than Buenos Aires. Its GDP per capita totals US $ 168,146.02, ranking first in the global ranking of GDP per capita out of a 16
total of 196 countries. In addition, it has no unemployment, no inflation. How do you do it? If they had to think that most liberal countries in the world many would say Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland or Australia. What not everyone knows is that there is a small country of only 36,000 inhabitants that is a true liberal paradise. Liechtenstein is a European country located in the Alps, on the banks of the Rhine between Switzerland and Austria, with a total area of 160 km2, smaller than the city of Buenos Aires. Its citizens enjoy the highest level and quality of life in the world. The GDP per capita totals US $ 168,146.02, ranking first in the world of GDP per capita out of a total of 196 countries. In addition, they do not have unemployment, they do not have inflation they even have deflationary periods -, life expectancy is very high, they do not have corruption, the homicide rate is zero, they are ranked 18th in the human development ranking ( HDI) - which elaborates the United Nations to measure the progress of a country
and that shows the standard of living of its inhabitants - and a surplus trade balance. Liechtenstein is one of the most industrialized economies with a high degree of innovation. Despite the fact that most of its economy is based on the financial sector and tourism, the truth is that 40% of the workforce works in the industrial sector with high added value and that each year generates a balance of balance trade of around € 1,300 million annually. How is Liechtenstein's success? The success of Liechtenstein lies in the fact that the citizenry has a high degree of power. The country has a Constitutional Monarchy, its sovereign is a prince, Juan Adán II, and the sovereignty of the state is divided between the prince who has the Executive Power and the citizens who have the Legislative Power. Special attention must be paid because it is one of the most advanced and developed direct democracies in the world. 18
The citizens of Liechtenstein have the ability to suppress any law, regulation and even to modify the Constitution. The power possessed by citizens is such that they can abolish the monarchy and decide through their vote to the municipality who may or may not receive citizenship of this country. In Liechtenstein, there is a significant degree of municipal autonomy. The municipal authorities autonomously administer the issues raised and the resources of the municipality. In addition, the citizens of the municipality have the same rights as at the municipal level. Likewise, Prince John Adam II is a libertarian who constantly promulgates the limitation of the State and the sovereignty of the individual. In 2003, the prince approved a constitutional amendment that grants the right of secession to all the municipalities that make up the principality. Thus, citizens of any municipality who are not satisfied with the services received can vote and become independent or even join another country.
The prince is also in favor of low, simple and easy to understand taxes , the privatization of the services that the State offers, the liberalization of economic sectors and commercial traffic, the attraction of investment and the elimination of subsidies. In purely economic Liechtenstein is characterized by:
matters,
- Low Taxes: in business, the maximum tax rate is 20%, income tax is 12.5%, VAT is 7.7% and tax on salaries and professional income ranges between 3 and 24%. This allows to attract many foreign investments. Also to encourage innovation, the principality has an 80% tax reduction on intellectual property. - Trade openness: thanks to the fact that it is a small country and in these cases it is not recommended that it apply protectionist policies that cannot supply the domestic market, the country is strongly integrated in economic matters with the rest of the world. In short, not only in economic terms is the country the freest in the world, but the political system is configured in such a way that 20
the individual is sovereign and the State is there to serve him. This explains the high degree of progress and economic growth that the small European country has experienced in recent times. Another irrefutable proof more than the way is freedom .

Concepts Populism ; A transgenerational trauma By Eduardo Salleras , 80 years ago, we Argentines began the practice of Mitridatism, a well-known method of drinking small doses of poison to become resistant to it, conclusion of Mithridates IV century II BC, but when trying to commit suicide by the defeat before the Romans by drinking this poison, no it had no effect on him, then asking his servant to take his life with his sword. What does it have to do? Argentina entered the path of populism 8 decades ago, in large or small doses, but they were delaying a very rich country, which curiously chose poverty as the standard of living for its population. This poisoning accelerated in the last 20 years, with the particularity of using in people (as a historical novelty ), Gramscian hallucinogens (method of intellectual insertion of 22
communism in society, and not that violent form that failed in the decade 70), creating in the town the magical image of achieving dignity at the hands of permanent hardship, and watching from afar how those who traffic in the needs of the people get rich, in a scandalous way. Synthetic drugs in the US, in 2019, killed more than 70 thousand people. Populism and corruption, in Argentina, left millions on the road, a case against humanity, and the last known conviction occurred with the improper, clandestine and differentiated distribution of vaccines, for friends and militants, while the they primarily need it. The political party that best used social opiates was Peronism, in particular its most extreme expression, Kirchnerism . That Justicialist Movement of the late 1940s, in the last century, created a " transgenerational trauma " so anarchic and confusing that it wandered, Perón died and after the return to democracy, from the right to the terminal left, but without never
abandon its two fundamental principles: popular hallucination and corruption, not only as economic immorality or as political contamination; not only as a way of acquiring power, with bribes and folders, but perhaps the worst, as an effect of the decomposition of society, called to choose the seductive paths of mischief and idleness as a way of life, of vice as recreation, of social degradation and complicit immorality with the system. That's what populism is all about. When good sense manages to hide from the depravity of the corrupt, and in the hands of justice it seeks with great effort to twist reality towards normality, it is the populists themselves, enriched by the hunger of the people, who stomp offended, as if the robbery of The population would have given them rights and prestige, pretending to behead the judges who should try them, imposing on the street alien and exotic terms ( lawfare ) that few understand, as one more way of obscuring the truth, and declaring themselves politically persecuted, to Despite the fact that the evidence is so great, that 24
justice itself is overwhelmed by too much evidence. It is incredible that a person who evaded the treasury 1,000 million dollars in taxes, considers himself a politically persecuted person or that a president (now vice president) and her predecessor in the presidency (her husband), have transferred to private companies in their province, Santa Cruz, 10,000 million dollars for public works that were never done, and on top of that a persecuted policy is created ... or the one who threw bags with money over the walls of a supposed convent ... or the one who bought scrap metal to use for trains and transport people in it ... or those who counted millions of dollars drinking imported whiskey ... or the missing funds that the same province attacked by public works collected as royalties from YPF ... there are so many facts and so many certainties that tire. I always insist on the following: a criminal pathology like this, in 45 million inhabitants, may exist, but electing them to govern, is serious, and that 30% of the citizens hold them to rage, it is worrying, because it
means that it is That is the minimum percentage of corrupt Argentines that we have in society, a figure that is too high and that makes impossible any solution that allows us to get out of the perpetual well of backwardness and poverty. Dícese in Romania, the curse of Vlad (Tepes) The Impaler , still persists and 6th centuries passed, having created a "trauma transgenerational " that afflicts the present. Vlad Tepes, is the true name of the legendary Dracula, and although we Argentines have not yet been impaled by populism, it, in its various electoral metamorphoses, has sucked the blood of all working citizens and producers, generators of wealth since 80 years ago, and especially the last 18, when with the excuse of achieving social equity and defeating poverty, the political class, promulgating these lies, became rich in a noisy and unbridled way, while the percentage of poor people grew to today's levels: obscene and terminal.
26
And this government only cares about appeasing the extreme delusions of the vice president, produced by her own sins of corruption that torment her, to the point of asking Herod to behead her opponent and justice. Either we definitively defeat populism, or it will be defeated forever, the republic ... they are wearing us when the poison no longer kills us ...
Neither good, nor efficient, nor egalitarian: health in Cuba is a scam By Editorial Vision Liberal (By Franco M. López * & Santiago Remón **) Cuban health has been one of the main political flags of many supporters of the Cuban regime, both on the American continent and throughout the world, to justify the island's political system . We have seen supranational organizations praise the system and popular documentary filmmakers promote it. Most of the arguments that are presented use the results of the official figures and the general egalitarian rules of Cuban health as the main justification for the defense of said health structure. In our present document, originally published as three articles in a series on the Fundación Internacional Bases website, we have compiled, summarized and analyzed all the critical scientific studies and independent reports available in relation to the Cuban health system and the statistics that it contains. presents. 28
The myth of Cuban health Full report As can be seen from the report, the island's health is nothing more than a myth. Cloaked by false and distorted statistics, the Cuban health system is crumbling to pieces while in parallel a better quality structure is established for members of the regime and foreign citizens. As if this weren't enough, a program that could be termed human trafficking uses medical professionals as a tool for political, propaganda and revenue operations for the regime and its allies. Cuba's health is neither good, efficient nor egalitarian, but a perverse scam that unfairly treats its people and deceives the world in complicity with officials of international organizations. In the first section of the work we will focus on the errors and distortions of the island's health statistics, in the second part we will be able to see the failures and inequalities in the functioning of the health system and in the third and last
section we will analyze the problems of the missions Cuban Doctors International. In a world shocked by a pandemic, with national health systems and international organizations in the eye of the storm, it is essential that the public debate on health maintains a critical and scientific outlook rather than responding to particular political interests. We hope that this contribution, which condenses the information available, in some cases making data available to the Spanish-speaking public for the first time, will allow us to advance in the direction of human progress. * Franco M.

Reflections The first European book market
By Elena Valero Narváez At a conference on November 2, 1982, the illustrious philosopher Karl Popper - who considered books, as well as libraries, the most important physical objects in the whole of human civilization - gave a conference on books and ideas. . He referred to a process that began in Greece with the meeting of Greek and Eastern cultures, based on particular historical conditions, as well as specific cultural fusions ,
decanted throughout the 6th and 5th centuries BC, two thousand years before. that Johannes Gutemberg , around 1450, devised the printing press. Homer, and almost all the great ideas, arose in the eastern Greek colonies, from there they passed to the West by the work of refugees fleeing from the Persians, as was the case of the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, also of the philosophers Xenophon and Anaxagoras , among many others. It was in the time of Pericles that the Greek world became aware of the idea of freedom, after having had to defend it for so many years. From 460 to 429 BC he guided Athenian politics towards the greatness of Greece, so much so that this period of splendor is named after him: sages, artists, philosophers, painters and sculptors forged the greatness of Athens and Greece in general. In the process of historical formation, in the Greece of Pericles, as already in the Christian era in England and the United States, 32
where the vector of democracy followed a line of improvement and uninterrupted adjustment, democracy went from restricted to being, increasingly, broader, to the point of total participation, where no sector is excluded from acting in politics, from being a voice in the expressions of public opinion. Karl Popper launches the idea, in the lecture to which I refer, "The Book and Ideas", that the Athenian miracle, so well illustrated by the century of Pericles, and even the origin of European civilization, can be explained, largely because of the invention of the written book, book publishing, and the book market. Although there were previously not only forms of writing and something similar to a book, especially in the East, the material on wax or clay was not very comfortable. Religious inscriptions also existed and the deeds of great kings were recorded, but specifically European culture, Popper claims, appeared in book form with the works of Homer, author of the main Greek epic poems: The Iliad and The Odyssey. It was not until 500 BC that his verses were compiled in writing, many copies were
made by literate slaves, on papyrus imported from Egypt, then they went on public sale. A PIONEER The first publication of a book was at the initiative of the tyrant Pisistratus , ruler of Athens, who had as a hobby the publication of books, in addition to supporting artists and poets, starting the theatrical performances and ordering the construction of the temples of Athena and Zeus. . Among other important things, it achieved considerable economic improvement by paving the way for democracy. Once the people felt financially secure, they began to ask for political freedoms. Homer's works became the first European textbook, everyone read it, learned to read and write, prepared speeches and letters. With its appearance, the first European book market also emerged. It was a big change: the printed book set new values and norms throughout Western Europe. The circulation of copies began between private individuals, with time private 34
libraries were formed, the commercialization of the book was born and the works were directed to the individual reader. It was thus, as the Athenians eagerly launched themselves to buy, in 466 BC, the first scientific work "On Nature", by Anaxagoras, who like Galileo was in danger of losing his life when accused of impiety. Galileo was saved from death by his friendship with someone powerful, the Pope. Anaxagoras , for yours with Pericles. He was not executed but banished from Athens for suggesting that the sun was a mass of redhot iron, the moon was a rock that reflected sunlight and came from Earth. Invited by Themistocles, also exiled, to Lampsaco , a colony of Miletus, he died some time later, but his work survived for 1,000 years. It was still read in 529 AD. The book - consisting of handwritten papyrus scrolls - became, thanks to the trial it endured, a local bestseller and also a topic of conversation in Athens. It was the first book written with the intention of being published. PLATO
From Plato we know that only the illiterate did not know the work of Anaxagoras - the first foreigner to settle in Athens - it was available for a drachma or less in the book market. Thirty-seven years after his book, the historical work of Herodotus , the first Greek historian, author of The Medical Wars , was published . Other books were sold in the market, for example, those of Thucydides , who described in eight books the 21 years of the Peloponnesian War - he already explained the events without the intervention of supernatural factors. Also the work of Isocrates and the colossal of Plato. Popper tells us that it was he who first realized the influence of the book and its potential political significance , which encouraged him to suggest that all poets should be banished, especially Homer, whom he admired. As Popper describes it well in "The open society and its enemies", Plato was an enemy of democracy, he believed in a general tendency towards corruption that should be 36
contained in the political field. The idea of the perfect state was, for him, free from the evil that the change and decomposition that it brought about. He also thought that the individual good was secondary and private interests could be postponed, voluntarily or not, in pursuit of a superior interest. Popper saw, in Plato's thought, as he well explains in his work, the totalitarian danger. The central idea that Popper expresses in this conference is that by having Pisistratus available for public sale in Athens, he unleashed a cultural revolution of comparable importance to that started by Gutenberg two thousand years later. Note that the objective intellectual content found in a book is what gives it value. It is not, as is generally believed, the expression of a subjective thought, of what happens in the author's head, but the objective product of the human mind, the result of a hard mental effort that consists of again and again rejecting or improve what was just written. The author creates the written work, but he also learns a lot from his own work, from his attempts to formulate his ideas,
especially from his mistakes and, above all, he can learn from the work of other authors. He states that the best way to criticize yourself and improve your thoughts is when they are written down for publication, so that they can be understood by another person. The book, he claims, belongs to the world of language, to the world of writing, of the objective content of our thoughts, it reminds us that for the first time in the history of the evolution of life, on our wonderful planet, the invention of language made The existence of objective intellectual contents is possible and by allowing us to objectify them , it made possible their criticism and the criticism of ourselves. I will end the note with the question that the great philosopher asked himself and with his answer, taken from another conference, but that is relevant: What was it that created our civilization in Athens? What made Athens invent art, literature, tragedy, philosophy, science, and democracy, all in a short period of less than 100 years?
38
It is answered, the Socrates of the 20th century, which is largely due to cultural shock: "When two or more different cultures come into contact, people find that their forms and customs, which in ancient times were taken for granted, are not natural. , are not the only possible ones, nor are they decreed by the gods, nor are they part of human nature. They find that their culture is the work of men and their history. Thus the world of new possibilities opens: the windows are opened and new air is coming in. This is a kind of sociological law and it explains a lot. It certainly played an important role in the history of Greece. " The author is the one who wrote El Crepúsculo Argentino (Ed.

Fallacies about poverty that hurt the poorest By Alberto Benegas Lynch Posted in Liberal Vision When we understand that well-being does not depend on magic or voluntary decrees, only then will we be in a position to open the doors to progress, especially for those most in need. It is known that poverty and wealth are relative terms: we are all poor or rich, it depends with whom we compare ourselves. But in this note we focus our attention on those who do not have to meet their basic needs, a concept that naturally refers to the absolute and leaves aside relative positions. Definitely a serious problem. In this context there are different observations. In the first place , to refute the nagging idea of arguing that poverty thus defined leads to crime. This affirmation constitutes an offense for our ancestors since we all descend from the caves and the most appalling misery of which
it does not follow that we come from criminals. Furthermore, it is very common to note that very modest people in their economic condition cultivate values of reciprocal respect, while others with succulent income reveal immoral behavior from every point of view. In other words, the ethical principles that are adopted have no causal relationship with the pocket, they have to do with cultivating as human beings. Second , it has been said that populism runs deep in poor places, which does not occur in affluent areas or those with higher incomes. This is not true either: First of all we must realize that the rich countries were poor and did not embrace statism when they got rich, otherwise they would have remained poor. Again it is about values and principles that in addition to leading to decency lead to prosperity. Thirdly , it is pertinent to underline that it also insists that poverty invites a climate of social plans which undermines the culture of work. 42
Undoubtedly, the so-called social plans - that is, the delivery by the state apparatus of resources compulsively subtracted from the fruit of the work of others - degrade the notion of one's own effort while creating unhealthy dependence on demagogic and unscrupulous politicians and inexorably accentuating poverty . But this is not exclusive to the poor, many of the rich are also granted by statists undercover social plans, only under another name: it is called customs protectionism, captive markets, subsidized credits, tax exemptions, debt “bailouts”, gifts and privileges. of all kinds at the expense of workers who have no lobbying power. And now comes the underlying issue, what is the procedure to reduce poverty. I have written on other occasions on this crucial issue but it is necessary to insist in view of the reiteration of fallacies in this matter. Individual rights are prior to and superior to the existence of governments and come from the characteristics of the human condition that require faculties to use and
dispose of their own in order to continue their personal life projects. Like roses and stones, humans have characteristics that define their species. No one should be used as a means to the ends of others, since the human being is an end in himself. The "social balances" with the intention of establishing peculiar utilitarianisms are totally inappropriate and lead to the greatest arbitrariness as when trying to weigh advantages of circumstantial majorities against defenseless minorities. The pseudoderechos contrary to the law.
are
clearly
We are living in the era in which the defense of the most needy is proclaimed but simultaneously they are severely affected by highly counterproductive measures. This is so mainly though not exclusively through the misnamed “social conquests” that paradoxically ruin the most vulnerable. To understand this conclusion, it is necessary to allude to the cause for which 44
wages and income rise in real terms. It is about what is generically called capitalization rates that are equivalent to per capita investment , that is, instruments, machinery, equipment, facilities and relevant knowledge that provide logistical support to work to increase returns. In turn, investments come from internal and external savings to the country in question, which is maximized to the extent that civilized institutional frameworks are in place, in other words, respect for the property rights of each, starting with the own life, the expression of thought and the use and disposition of what is legitimately acquired. In this context, it is necessary to point out the danger of misuse of the meaning of the term “investment”. This concept refers to the individual estimate regarding own resources in which context the subject in question values in more future returns compared to present ones and, therefore, chooses to refrain from consuming to save and always the destination of saving is investment ( They are two faces of the same coin).
It is totally inappropriate to refer to "investment" when state apparatus seize the fruit of the work of others, in that case it is an expense that can be current or destined to fixed assets but in no case does it make sense to pretend that it is a investment for the aforementioned reasons. If a guy rips someone else's wallet, it is completely meaningless to tell him that he will "invest" it, even if that guy is part of the state apparatus or is a private one, in the first case the expense may or may not be justified but in no case case it is an investment process. In everyday language there is a use and abuse of the concept of yore. Today it is fashionable to staunchly criticize this or that union leader for their aberrant behavior, but the legislation that makes it possible to have illegitimate unions instead of free and voluntary associations is left standing, and the figure of "retention agents" is still standing. ”Who lay hands on the fruit of the work of employees so that they cannot use their belongings. Once these clarifications have been made, it is clear that Bolivian wages are lower than Canadians, not because in the first case 46
the entrepreneurs are perverse and the second more generous, they are different capitalization rates and that makes all the difference, which it does not mean that the relative positions are irrevocable. There are countries that have had high capitalization rates that have later squandered and their wage levels have decreased. As has been said, everything depends on the quality of the prevailing institutional frameworks. In German and American media there is practically no domestic service in the respective homes. It is not because housewives do not require help, it is that capitalization rates are of such magnitude that they do not allow to have this service since they should compete with high salaries in business circles and equivalents, a situation that becomes impossible. It is typical that in countries with very low capitalization rates, tasks are carried out such that a certain subject is fanned at nap time by four people, but if that same person moves to a city where high capitalization rates prevail, they must immediately abandon their
habit because the salaries for this activity are impossible to meet. It has been erroneously maintained that governments should regulate labor contracts since "the inequality in the power of contracting" shows that it is not possible to allow a millionaire to contract with a person who does not have to make ends meet, in order to make ends meet. the week or at the end of the day. This analysis suffers from a serious defect that does not take into consideration that the bulky or weakness of the respective current accounts or the net worth of those who hire is clearly irrelevant. What is relevant, what is decisive are the capitalization rates that force market wages to be paid. If a millionaire comes to a town and finds out how much it costs to paint his house but maintains that since he has a large estate he will pay half, by definition he will not paint his house. It is not pertinent if the person in question is very rich or if he is broke, the salary 48
to paint his house is the one that marks the capitalization rate. It should also be borne in mind that if an employer decides to pay more than what the capitalization rates mark for the same job, on the one hand he will have a greater job offer than he needs and on the other he will proceed to waste his resources with what to persist in This line will have your days as an entrepreneur numbered. It is necessary to point out that where labor contracts are free, there will be no unemployment, that is, a surplus of that essential factor to provide services and to produce goods. This situation for the normal worker (not for the one who, for example, is in a vegetative state or suffers from deficiencies of such a nature that they do not allow him to do anything) occurs regardless of the most extreme poverty or the most exuberant wealth in which the worker finds himself. medium in question. In the first case, wages will be reduced and in the second, in no case will there be any excess of that essential human resource.
Actually unemployment is observed in various countries because the contractual arrangements are not free. On the contrary, the misnamed “social conquests” appear that inevitably cause unemployment, since this happens when by decree monetary or nonmonetary wages are placed above what capitalization rates allow. And this should not be seen only in terms of marginal workers, if by law higher salaries are placed than those obtained by finance managers, personnel or general managers, they will be unemployed. Usually those so-called social conquests are decreed with the best good will with the idea of protecting those most in need, since it is of great importance to realize that they greatly harm them. Thus, for example, the minimum wage, by definition higher than the market wage, wipes out those who most need to work. There are also "conquests" that constitute insults to intelligence, such as the Argentine case of the Christmas bonus, that is, the thirteenth month, without realizing that inexorably less is being paid during the twelve months of the year to be able to face the 50
thirteenth month. Actually it would be interesting to be able to decree that the year has forty months but that is not possible and so with the rest of the sadly famous social conquests. It goes without saying that the salary established by the capitalization rates does not appear drawn in the sky, you have to find out. Anyway, try hiring a secretary for half the market wage and it will likely last until lunchtime on the first business day as it will be reported immediately that it is undervalued. This that we are commenting on is very especially aimed at the ongoing robotization phenomenon that allows freeing up human and material resources to allocate them to cover other needs impossible to contemplate until now due to the fact that these resources were sterilized in the previous areas. As is known, resources are limited compared to unlimited needs. If we were in Jauja and there was something for everyone all the time, the problem of work would disappear. In order to achieve new arbitrations, the entrepreneur is encouraged
to train personnel in the new activities. Saving the distances, it is the same thing that happened with the man with the ice bar before the refrigerators, or the fireman before the Diesel engines . Unions as free and voluntary associations play a role appreciated by members, which implies the figure of legal status but by no means the fascist figure of union status that blocks contractual freedom. In the same way, the strike must be understood as the right not to work, which is openly opposed to the intimidation and violence that is related to that right. When we understand that well-being does not depend on magic or voluntary decrees, only then will we be in a position to open the doors to progress, especially for those most in need. As Bruno Leoni explains among many others , when we understand that law is not the result of social engineering but the result of a process of discovery, only then will we understand the value of institutional frameworks that guarantee reciprocal 52
respect. Only then will we be in a position to understand the danger of the pseudo-right . Edmund Burke in 1756 wrote that "the safe enjoyment of natural rights is the ultimate and greatest purpose of civil society and therefore every form of government is only good if it is consistent with that purpose to which it is entirely subordinate", which , among others, was taken up by Juan Bautista Alberdi in the publication of his first study of legal perspective in 1837 and then in the context of his economic analysis in 1854. This is the way to lift people out of poverty and lead them to progress : reciprocal respect, in which context it is appropriate to recall that in 2003 Alexander Solzhenitsyn summed up the whole problem as follows: "In different places over the years I have had to prove that socialism, which many Western thinkers say is a kind of kingdom of justice, is coercion, bureaucratic greed, corruption and greed."

Humor Last night my wife and I were sitting in the living room talking about the many things in life. We were talking about the idea of living or dying. So I said , "Don't forget. Never let me live in a vegetative state, depending on a machine and liquids from a bottle. If you see me in that state, unplug the gadgets that keep me alive." She got up, unplugged the cell phone, the television, and threw me the beer. !!! I almost died ! !! ---------------------------------As they say to some acquaintances !!!!!! 54

---------------------------------There is a politician giving his speech for his new campaign, and just when he is going to say what problems he is going to solve, a bray from a nearby donkey is heard. The angry politician yells: Who did that? Where did it come from?
And then someone from the audience says: Don't worry, it's just the echo. ---------------------------------Jesus Christ is walking through the desert with his twelve apostles. At one point he orders them: -Take a stone and go with it on your back ! Everyone takes a very large stone, except Judas who takes a very small one . Soon after, they say: -Master, we are thirsty ! Then Jesus Christ exclaims: -Then the stones turn into water ! Everyone drinks their fill, except Judas, who barely has enough for a sip. Jesus Christ reorders: -Take another stone to walk again ! 56
Everyone takes their stone, but Judas, this time takes a one-ton rock. Three hundred kilometers later, they see a peasant who does not get a crop of their land for lack of fertilizer; then Jesus Christ exclaims: -May the stones become compost ! Judas, almost covered in shit, extends his arms and cries out to heaven: -Is it or not to betray him !!! ??? . It is proven: Judas was Argentine ..

Republicans United The party
Republicanos Unidos is a political party that aims to recover the ideas that made our country a power and position freedom again as the fundamental pillar for life in society, economic development and institutional quality. We believe that the key to reversing Argentina's decline is in respect for individual rights, equality before the law, private initiative and the right of each person to seek their own happiness.
What differentiates Republicans United from other parties? Internal democracy: the end of the sheet list is one of the fundamental commitments in the creation of Unidos. Any party affiliate who so wishes may be a candidate, starting from an internal election where the Single Transferable Vote (VUT) system will channel the opinions of the members and define those selected for the list and the order in which they will be located. The intolerable practice of “hand-picking” candidates for elective office is avoided. Openness: solid internal democracy guarantees the possibility that any citizen who shares the principles enshrined by the party can join. The intention is to help the ideological space never be divided into elections. The guarantees for those who wish to enter and participate in the internal elections will be the same as for those who already take part. The party will thus consolidate itself as a lasting institution, a tool for union and a guarantee of representativeness.

Antipersonalism : the internal division of powers from which the executive authorities of the party will not be able to run for elective positions guarantees that no personalism acquires a preponderant role, remaining as the central axis the ideas promoted by the party in its declaration of principles and its bases of political action. Innovation: attentive to technological advances and the context in which it arises, those of us who constitute Unidos are aware of the need to adopt technology in their daily operations, and for this we are dedicated to the development of a mobile application. This app will be the vehicle for affiliates to actively participate and decide in internal elections to define pre-candidates. Who is it? We are simply ordinary people of all ages, who work and study like any other, who enter politics from personal detachment , thinking that Argentina is being changed by a change in Society. We want for Argentina a change from the roots, and we decided to bring the ideas of
freedom to the political field, to allow development and improve the quality of life. What do we want in politics? Our incorporation into the National Congress, the provincial legislatures and the deliberative councils in each municipality will give the space and the entire ideological sector an exponential boost. With a legislative presence, it will be possible to propose real turns in public policy, and give the ideas of freedom an unprecedented visibility and impact in recent years. We invite you to join this proposal. In the following link you can see all the information. https://unidosargentina.org/index.html Something new is needed.
