As the local government is thinking about enforcing a series of measures to promote street vendors in Palermo Viejo, I can’t help but think about the following:
- Street vendors don’t pay rent for putting a cloth or a table at the street with their products, which, most of the times, are made in China or India, or bought somewhere.
- Street vendors sell often their products at the same price than most stores.
- Street vendors don’t pay taxes.
- Street vendors leave the streets filthy after they are done for the day.
On the other hand:
- I have helped support around 80 local artists, craftsmen and designers at my shop/gallery Atípica for almost six years.
- I support Argentine design and creativity.
- I support hand-crafted high quality.
- I pay my rent on time.
- My electricity, telephone and other services bills are 40% more expensive because I am engaged in a commercial activity.
- I pay taxes such as “Monotributo” and “Ingresos Brutos”.
- I pay for maintaining bank accounts, and for operating with credit cards.
- I pay for a security monitoring system.
- And I keep the sidewalk of my store clean, as most neighbours who pay taxes do.
So… why are street vendors being protected by the government while the ones who pay taxes only get more increases to pay? How does the society benefit from this measure? Why is the government promoting disloyal competition? What if I and all the people who follow the law decide to stop paying taxes? And even worse: Should I stop believing that it pays off to support Argentina’s creativity in the way I'm doing?

The Government of the City of Buenos Aires is promoting pedestrian part of Palermo Viejo to install more street vendors . At this news, I can not stop thinking about the following:
- Street vendors do not pay rent to put a cloth on the floor or improvise a table in the street to sell their products, which often come from China or India or are purchased elsewhere.
- Street vendors often sell their products at the same price in many stores.
- Street vendors do not pay taxes.
- Once the vendors are removed, the streets are often left dirty. Furthermore
:
- 6 years, I promote the work of about 80 artists, designers and craftsmen Argentine in my shop / gallery Atípica.
- Support the design and creativity in Argentina.
- Support the handwork of high quality.
- pay rent on time.
- pay electricity, telephone and other services with a 40% increase just by being involved in a business.
- Pay taxes like the Monotributo and gross.
- Pay an account at a bank and credit card transactions.
- Payment security service.
- keep my sidewalk clean, as do most of the neighbors they pay, in addition, the ABL.
So why the government protects the work in black, while those who pay taxes we are harmed by unfair competition? How does society benefit from this measure the government? What if all citizens to comply with the corresponding stop paying taxes? All this makes me think of something even worse: Should I stop believing it's worth supporting creativity Argentina's how I do it?
