When dealing with the project at the end of the 6×1 scale, during an interview with Wake up CapitalsThe Minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, Guilherme Boulos, said on Thursday (27/11) that it will be necessary to “make a transition” with small business owners to ensure the “sustainability of their businesses.”
According to the minister, it is necessary to separate the “wheat from the chaff,” comparing large companies with small ones. “It’s one thing for a small (entrepreneur) who has a workshop with two workers, a bar with three or four workers. You have to build with these small people – and 70% of jobs in Brazil come from small and medium-sized companies – a transition phase to be able to ensure the sustainability of their business,” he said.
Regarding major businessmen, Boulos said that most of them practice “economic terrorism in this matter,” “a large, multinational company, a banker crying with his stomach full.” As Zika Bagodinho says: It’s the ugliest thing. Are they earning extraordinary profits and cannot guarantee the worker another day or two of rest? “It is economic terrorism.”
The minister completed the criticism by saying that “slavery is over.” For him, the government “has the means to end 6×1, but the privileged will have to give up some things.”
Infrared exemption
Boulos, a federal representative for the Socialist Socialist Party, left the House of Representatives and assumed the position of the General Secretariat of the Presidency last month, with the mission of “putting the government on the streets.”
For the minister, the measure to exempt those who earn up to R$ 5,000 from paying income tax, approved by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Wednesday (26/11), is a “response to historical inequality in the country.”
“This will mean saving R$4,500 per year. It’s like a 14th salary. This is very important for Brazilian workers,” he added.
Pauls also commented on taxes on the wealthy and explained that the 10% progressive rate for those earning R$100,000 or more per month “is a matter of justice.”
“It has now been proven that anyone who earns more than R$1 million starts paying. Anyone who earns up to R$5,000 pays nothing. It is a matter of justice,” he said.
