Brazil Plans to Tax the "Super Rich" — Starting at $100K a Year
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.

Protests, Riots, and Liberty: Did Milei Cross the Line?
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?Twitter: https://x.com/thelibertario2E-mail: contact@thelibertario.com

Made in America: The Price of US Tariffs on Canada & Mexico
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? Twitter: https://x.com/thelibertario2E-mail: contact@thelibertario.com

No Censor on Our Shores: When You Find a Bigger Bully
In this episode, we dive into the clash between Brazil’s Supreme Court (STF) and global tech platforms over the “No Censor on Our Shores” Act. While governments claim to respect national sovereignty and free speech, they quickly shift gears and cry about how they defend national sovereignty and free speech by killing free speech and individual rights. We explore the paradoxes, hypocrisies, and power struggles between governments, Big Tech, and individual users — and ask the key question: What is national sovereignty without individual freedom?

Petty Politics: Inside Colombia’s First Televised Cabinet Meeting
In this episode, we dive into Colombia’s first-ever televised cabinet meeting, which exposed a chaotic reality: instead of productive discussions about the country’s future, the meeting was filled with petty disputes, political grandstanding, and demagogic speeches. Far from being a space for strategic leadership, it showcased the dysfunction that often defines government institutions. But this isn’t just about Colombia. Why do people continue to assume that politicians are inherently intelligent or capable just because they hold office? We’ll explore the misplaced trust in elected officials, the myth of political competence, and why hold...
