Well, the government went from “favoring” the imports to now supporting the export sector.. Would their next move would be reversing once more the trend?

People were greedy so reported less income and taxes increased and brackets decreased so more people lied, etc. Tax evasion is illegal even in the US but generally people don't lie, they find loopholes, not out honest or duty mind you, but because their income is easier to track.

It isn't leftist or propaganda, even 50 year olds remember the death squads, the banned books and music, the fear, etc from the 60's. Even if you had money and brains but if you had an ideology similar to those who dodged the draft you couldn't even go to university. Just because you don't like the leftist will of the people doesn't mean it is wrong or ill-informed or propaganda.
