Flavio Bolsonaro: It seems there is a concern that this text, by going to the Chamber, will return to the hands of Deputy Arthur Lira, and then there is an electoral problem implied here, between the lines of this bill, which is not appropriate for this discussion, it is not appropriate to contaminate the debate.
Flavio Bolsonaro: Therefore, Mr. President, we will vote in favor of the bill, but we will defend here Senator Carlos Portinho's separate-vote motion, which deals precisely with liberal professionals, because, beyond what I have said here, the Lula Government has such an obsession with taxing, taxing, taxing, with levies, with tax, tax, that it increases revenue by reaching into the taxpayer's pocket and yet spending still increases.
President Bolsonaro left the Government with a R$54 billion surplus, and today we already have more than R$350 billion in deficit, debt, commitments that will have to be honored at some point.
Flavio Bolsonaro: In this bill here, they are inventing a retroactive taxation, which is unconstitutional.
Flavio Bolsonaro: So you today who are a liberal professional and are watching me will pay tax this month.
