   About: exempt incomes up to R$5.000 from income tax and tax the richest more

   Tariflávio and tarifa de freitas. And nervous people tend to make mistakes, don't they? One of those mistakes is lying or trying to pin on me the departure of companies to Paraguay. Tarcísio pretends not to know that the period when the most companies left the country was during their government, fleeing from neglect and low growth. And you can verify that on fact-checking websites. But they're nervous because I taxed their friends — the super-rich, the bankers, the betting companies, the billionaires. People who own billions hidden in offshore companies.

   About: make the tax system more progressive

   And I taxed them to be able to lighten the worker's burden, to be able to reduce the tax on food, to zero out the tax on the basic food basket, to lower the price of meat, but above all to eliminate the income tax for those who earn up to R$5,000 per month. And to reduce it for those who earn from R$5,000 to R$7,350. But do you know whom they zeroed the tax for when they governed the country? For those who own little private jets, for those who run betting platforms. And the bill fell on those who earned less. In their time, anyone earning more than R$2,000 per month was already paying income tax.

   About: maintain public control over sanitation companies and essential services

   In São Paulo, Tarcísio still follows the same playbook. Sabesp, privatized by him, earns billions, while you pay more for water for a worse service. The road concessionaires also profit much more with increasingly more tolls. And you foot the bill. That's why they invent so many lies to shift responsibility for the harms they've always caused Brazil off their shoulders. But the population is seeing more and more clearly the difference between us and them. And when Brazil sees the difference, no lie can overcome the truth.
