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.
Flavio Bolsonaro: 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.
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.
Flavio Bolsonaro: After this bill passes, you will have to pay tax retroactively for all previous months, because the rule changed later without your knowing.
