The '2008 Argentine Farm Crisis refers to the conflict between the Argentinean national government and the 4 entities that represented the agriculture sector.The crisis began in March 2008 with four agricultural sector employers organizations taking direct action such as road blocks to protest against the decision of the government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to raise export taxes on soybeans and sunflower.
Argentina's farmers are vowing to protest a steep rise in rural property taxes in the country's leading agricultural province as cash-strapped local governments turn to the fields once again to plug swelling deficits.
Mr. Scioli signed a controversial executive order raising the taxes earlier in the day, forcing Congress to a vote. The Senate is expected to swiftly approve the measure.
"This is going to hit farmers hard ... some aren't going to be able to make it," Luis Etchevehere, vice president of the influential Argentine Rural Society, said. "There's lots of pressure to call a strike," he added.
"This is simply confiscatory," Mr. Chemes said. Already almost 80% of farm profits are taken by taxes, he said.
In Buenos Aires Province, property taxes will rise between 300% and 400%, while in Entre Rios province some farmers will see property taxes rise by as much as 960%, he added.
Mr. Chemes said that a farmer in Entre Rios Province with 395 acres will see his annual property tax rise from 2,400 pesos to 24,000 pesos.
"It's not that the farmers don't want to pay, it's that they can't," he said. "This is going to end up being a nationwide issue with an extended strike."
And the Libtards can't understand why things like Obamacare and the EPA have so much downside.Steve said:(start sarcasm) must have been those farmers that drove the country under.. and not the hard working liberal policies.. (end sarcasm)
