I just grabed a cab, wasn't even that hard. Lazy unions. What do peronistas have in common with the Argentine left, their mutal dislike of work.

I think the strike is a win for the government politically speaking. The union leaders made a bad decision in promoting this strike as being "anti-ganancias." This is how it's being portrayed across the Argentine media spectrum.

Only 11 percent of the population pays ganancias.* Thus, by making this protest about ganancias -- and not low salaries in general -- the union leaders have sent a very clear message to the other 89 percent (who aren't able to get to work today) about whose interests they represent.

*This is disputed by some sources. Infobae reports/believes that it could be as high as 21% http://www.infobae.com/2015/03/30/1719107-mas-del-21-trabajadores-y-jubilados-estan-alcanzados-ganancias

I very much enjoy the irony of the socialists demanding lower taxes for the top 10% of income earners.

Irony? That is their modus operandi always.

Oh the joy of a good nights sleep. Can we get the motor bikes and cars with no silencers off the road next?
