Que no se nos olvide: hace unos años en Colombia el que no era petrista era un ignorante. Hoy los ilustrados descubren, con cuatro años de retraso, que Petro acabó con la izquierda.
Qué lentitud para ser tan brillantes.

[Daniela S. @missfbe]

Durante años nos trataron de brutos a los que no nos rendirnos ante la "brillantez" de Petro, ante su elocuencia y su visión de país.
Hoy lo están odiando por haber destruido a la izquierda. Jajajaja.

Ayer Francia vivió uno de sus días más violentos en décadas. Unas 550.000 personas salieron a la calle contra el alto coste de la vida, la policía detuvo a más de 1.200, hubo 150 agentes heridos y el ayuntamiento de Limoges, con más de 140 años de historia, quedó casi destruido por el fuego. La explicación que más se escucha es la de siempre: la culpa es de la «austeridad» y del «neoliberalismo».

Luis Garicano publicó esta semana los números que desmontan ese cuento. En Francia viven del Estado 30 millones de adultos, entre pensionistas, empleados públicos y perceptores de ayudas, frente a 21 millones que trabajan en el sector privado. El gasto público es el 57% del PIB y el país no cierra un presupuesto equilibrado desde 1974. ¿Dónde está la austeridad?

España va por el mismo camino. Según Garicano, desde 2024 cobran del Estado 18,2 millones de personas, más que los 17,9 millones que trabajan en el sector privado, y la EPA ya cuenta más empleados públicos que autónomos. Gastamos el 45% del PIB y el último superávit fue en 2007.

Me explico. Cuando más de la mitad de los votantes vive del Estado, ningún político se atreve a tocar el gasto, porque recortarlo es perder elecciones. Se paga con deuda y con impuestos al que produce, cada vez produce menos gente y la vida se encarece para todos. En las calles de Francia se pide más Estado para curar lo que causó el exceso de Estado.

Argentina eligió el camino contrario. Milei recortó el gasto primario un 27% en términos reales en su primer año y cerró 2024 con el primer superávit financiero en más de una década. Llevo toda la vida creando empresas en España y en Estados Unidos, y sé que cada empleo privado paga una parte del sueldo de alguien que cobra del Estado. Cuando los que cobran superan a los que pagan, la cuenta no sale.

Ningún Estado puede mantener a más gente de la que lo mantiene a él.

Bernie Sanders says the top 1% owns more than the bottom 93%, that fewer than a thousand billionaires got $2.2 trillion richer last year, and that it's "obscene."

It's the most seductive and most wrong economic argument of our time. Let me explain why.

First, wealth distribution follows a power law. Always. Everywhere. Books, music, startups, followers on X, goals in soccer. A small minority captures most of the value. That's not a bug of capitalism. It's the mathematical signature of every system where value gets created.

So the only question that matters isn't "how big is the rich's slice?" It's "is the cake growing, and is the slice of the poorest growing with it?"

And the answer is yes. In 1990, more than one human in three lived in extreme poverty. Today it's about one in ten. During exactly the period when billionaires multiplied.

Bernie shows you the slice. He never shows you the cake.

Second thing he won't tell you: past a certain level, wealth stops being consumption. It becomes capital allocation.

Elon Musk isn't sleeping on a pile of cash. He owns stakes in Tesla, SpaceX, xAI. Jeff Bezos owns Amazon stock. That "$2.2 trillion" isn't sitting in a checking account. It's factories, rockets, data centers, millions of jobs. Nobody can eat $100 billion. You can only decide where to invest it.

Once you understand that, the whole debate changes. The real question becomes: who allocates capital better?

The people who built Amazon, SpaceX and Nvidia? Or politicians?

A 5% wealth tax isn't "taking money from the rich." It's taking investment decisions away from people who proved they can create value and handing them to people who proved the opposite.

Because the fundamental difference between an entrepreneur and a politician is consequences.

The entrepreneur invests his own money. If he allocates badly, he loses everything. The market corrects him brutally, no appeal. That's why most startups die: the system kills bad decisions.

The politician invests other people's money. If he allocates badly, nothing happens. Worse, he gets a bigger budget to "fix the problem."

Milton Friedman put it better than anyone. There are four ways to spend money. Your money on yourself: you care about price and quality. Your money on others: you care about price. Others' money on yourself: you care about quality. Others' money on others: you care about nothing.

Government is the fourth box. By design.

Perfect example: California high-speed rail. Approved in 2008 for about $33 billion. Current estimated cost: over $100 billion. Passengers carried: zero. No entrepreneur would have survived that. The politicians who pushed it built careers on it.

And when allocation has no consequences, it eventually finds a buyer. A politician who controls billions without accountability becomes the most profitable target in the world for anyone who wants to steer that money.

The irony is that the left that rails against billionaires is itself funded by billionaires. George Soros is one of the biggest Democratic donors in history. The Gates Foundation shapes public health policy across the planet.

Politicians don't fight billionaires. They pick their own. The ones who fund the state over the ones who compete with it.

So if we actually want fewer poor people, we have to stop judging ideas by their intentions and start judging them by their results. And the results are brutally clear.

China, 1978: Deng Xiaoping opens the economy to markets. More than 800 million people escape extreme poverty. The largest retreat of misery in human history. Not through redistribution. Through the freedom to build.

India, 1991: liberalization. Same movie.

South Korea and North Korea: same people, same language, same starting point in 1953. One became one of the most advanced economies on earth. The other has famines.

Poland and Ukraine: comparable living standards in 1990. Today the average Pole is more than three times richer than the average Ukrainian.

Argentina: a year and a half of liberalization, and the poverty rate falls from over 50% to around 30%.

No country in history escaped poverty by punishing the people who build. Every single one did it by letting them build.

And if you want to see what Bernie's program looks like in real life, you don't have to imagine it. It exists. It's called France. We've been running it for 45 years.

Mass nationalizations in 1981. Two years later, Socialist president Mitterrand has to reverse course into austerity.

Retirement at 60. The 35-hour workweek.

A wealth tax for 35 years. Hundreds of wealthy households left every year for Belgium, Switzerland, London, taking their capital, their companies and their future taxes with them. Macron finally scrapped it in 2018.

Hollande's 75% tax: raised a few hundred million, drove talent out, abandoned after two years.

One of the highest tax burdens in the OECD. Public spending around 57% of GDP, a record in the developed world.

Last balanced budget: 1974. Public debt: over €3.4 trillion. Mass unemployment for four decades.

If taxing the rich and growing the state made people prosperous, France would be the richest country on the planet.

It isn't. GDP per capita in France is barely more than half of America's. It's lower than Mississippi, the poorest state in the US. Not a single global tech giant. Our best engineers build Silicon Valley instead. I've been going back and forth between Paris and San Francisco for years. I see it every week.

And California is about to replay the movie. Prop 40, on the ballot November 3rd, would take 5% of billionaires' net worth. Even Gavin Newsom, a Democratic governor, opposes it. The state's own nonpartisan budget analyst warns that income tax revenue could drop every year if the wealthy leave. Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel have reportedly already started moving their assets out.

You don't fight poverty by shrinking the top. You fight it by growing the cake.

Bernie wants a society where nobody has too much. I want a society where nobody has too little.

The first has been tried everywhere and produces equality in stagnation. The second lifted a billion people out of misery.

Choose.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

My post about France went viral. Thousands of likes. Many Americans told me: "Democrats aren't socialists. America will never be France." I want to answer that seriously, step by step.

Start with a simple observation. Look at what has gotten cheaper in America over the last 25 years: TVs, phones, software, clothes, toys. Now look at what has exploded: college tuition, healthcare, childcare, housing.

What separates the two lists? The first lives in competitive markets. The second is exactly where government is most involved: subsidies, mandates, licensing, zoning, regulation.

College. Washington lends students almost unlimited money. Universities know the money will always come, so they raise tuition and hire more administrators. The student pays the bill for twenty years. More government money, higher prices.

Housing. Why can't a nurse buy a home in the city where she works? Not because of capitalism. Because of zoning laws, permits, environmental reviews, years of procedure to build a single building. The most expensive places to live in America are the places where it's hardest to build. When building is nearly illegal, prices explode.

Healthcare. The patient almost never sees the price. A third party pays, regulations limit who can compete, and costs climb year after year with no one able to say no.

So here is the trap. The problems you suffer from are not the failure of free markets. They are the places where the market has already been replaced by the state. And the solution you're being offered is more of the same.

That's the Trojan horse. It always works the same way. A real problem. A generous-sounding promise. A program that makes things worse. Then the failure of that program becomes the argument for the next one. People who lived under communism in Poland learned to recognize the lie and the mask the lie wears. The lie never presents itself as a lie. It presents itself as compassion.

In France we are at the end of that road. Debt we can never repay. Young people who can't afford a home. Our best people leaving. And every few years our cities burn. Nobody voted for this. They voted for one more generous promise, fifty years in a row.

If you're a Republican, share this with the Democrat in your life. Not to win an argument. To start a conversation.

If you're a Democrat, I'm not asking you to switch teams. I'm asking you to look at the pattern. Wherever the state took over, life became unaffordable. Don't fix the failures of government with more government.

Stay American. Ask for less state, not more.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.

I come from your future.

In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.

Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.

The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.

The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.

I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.

Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?

Trust me. You don’t want to be France.

BREAKING: Flavio Bolsonaro has defeated Brazilian President Lula da Silva in the first round of Brazil’s presidential election.

Bolsonaro received 47.3% of the vote, compared to 44.8% for Lula, with 98% of votes counted.

Neither candidate reached the 50% threshold needed to win outright, sending the election to an October 25th runoff.

This marks marking Lula’s first presidential election defeat since 1998.

[Eduardo Bolsonaro🇧🇷 @BolsonaroSP]

Amém, Presidente!

A falta de poco más del 6% para que termine el escrutinio, @FlavioBolsonaro debera terminar por delante de Lula.

Al igual que ocurrió en Colombia, la historia se repite: el candidato de la derecha obtiene un resultado mejor de lo previsto por las encuestas y se convierte en el gran favorito de cara a la segunda vuelta.

@ABDELAESPRIELLA está liberando a Colombia, así como Flávio Bolsonaro también liberará a Brasil de los narcos y los corruptos!

El exótico y recién estrenado ex-presidente de Colombia se dedicará – o por lo menos hasta que se vaya preso – a decir todos los días cómo deben resolverse los problemas que él mismo creó, pero que a su juicio son problemas del actual gobierno.

[Abelardo De La Espriella @ABDELAESPRIELLA]

Hoy tuve el honor de presidir el Relevo de Guardia de la Casa de Nariño, una de las ceremonias militares de mayor tradición, mística y simbolismo de nuestra Nación.

Desde 2019, un Presidente de la República no acompañaba este acto protocolario.

Ejecutado por el Batallón de Infantería N.° 37 “Guardia Presidencial”, el relevo simboliza la entrega de la responsabilidad de custodiar la sede del Gobierno y la seguridad del Jefe de Estado, pero también representa algo mucho más profundo: disciplina, honor, lealtad y respeto por nuestra historia militar.

Preservar estas tradiciones es honrar a quienes han consagrado su vida al servicio de Colombia y recordar que las instituciones, los símbolos y la historia de la Patria se respetan.

¡Firme por la Patria!
¡Viva Cristo Rey!
