The fiscal dictatorship of the 4T: they punish those who work and reward the parasites

But PRIAN stole more (read as if it were said by a zombie without judgment or intelligence)

The 4T promises a future, but the 2026 Economic Package reeks of poverty disguised with speeches, something that will hit harder those who voted and have nothing. Sodas, cigarettes, video games and even your patience are going up. They are introducing an 8% tax on “violent” games, because, according to their logic, if you play Doom, you become the Doomguy from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel; but if you watch the morning press conference, you become a model citizen, even though it is the same for your brain as taking a hit of celaste water and rags.

The SAT now wants your data in real time: what you watch, what you buy, and even what you think, because the new national sport is auditing you 24/7 to see how they can get more money to give to their crumb-seeking voters. They call it “digital modernization,” but it is espionage in the style of the USSR. They say it is for public health, but they do not reduce the sugar in the breakfasts of politicians with morbid obesity. They promise a healthier country, but the only thing they reduce is your desire to work when you see how much they deduct for wanting to be an entrepreneur or what they take from you for being a simple worker. Meanwhile, while you give up your soda because of the IEPS, they keep feasting on the budget, even if they have fiscal diabetes.

The tax on video games is another gem. There is no scientific evidence that playing makes you violent, but there is evidence that the government has become addicted to money as if it were the fentanyl that they let the drug traffickers produce in the country. The worst part is that the 4T keeps pointing fingers at conservatives, when they look just like the conservatives from the 80s with their satanic panic over video games and their “100tifikoz” arguments. It is easier to blame the joystick than the drug lord who sleeps comfortably under President Sheinbaum's blankets.

If you thought that the injunction protected you, think twice: they have already cut it. Fewer suspensions, more power to the powerful, so they can come after you even harder. That law seems made to silence the uncomfortable entrepreneur who is being a thorn in the side of the morenarcos. The sad thing is seeing how thousands of followers believe that their miserable lives will improve if a single entrepreneur pays more taxes. As if, because of that, they would be attended to faster at the IMSS, or that money would go to the victims. Spoiler: it will not be like that.

The rhetoric of “hating Salinas Pliego, while praising and protecting the cartels” works as a smokescreen for the resentful who have never produced anything. They calm the sheep so they do not notice public inefficiency. They make you believe that the rich are the enemy, while the real public enemy wears a guayabera and lives in La Chingada, where he smiles watching his puppet with “A,” while his children live with the same luxuries as Salinas Pliego's children (just without high triglycerides).

They raise taxes, reduce opportunities, and the country is worse than ever: expensive, slow, and with less freedom for you to develop as a person. Every January you buy less life with the same salary and with more taxes for the arteries of the president's children who became millionaires overnight. But nothing happens, because on social media the army of “chairos” will say that “PRIAN stole more” (even though they hate math because numbers can't be manipulated with applause). They have perfected the emotional and fiscal scam: they make you feel like a hero, while they can't even afford to take two buses a day.

The discourse is as cheap as the gasoline they promised to lower. They want you to believe that the past is to blame, but they have been living off it for seven years. When twelve years go by, they will keep barking even if they have not done anything good for the country, other than helping the cartels to outshine entrepreneurs in income. Their model of government is recycling blame, victimizing themselves 24/7, and creating a new tax every 15 minutes.

They do not fix the country: they squeeze it. They do not govern: they manage the resentment of those who do not produce. The saddest thing is that millions celebrate it without understanding that they are being trained to thank every new blow to their wallets…

But PRIAN stole more.
