NOT TRUE. the DR still has one of the lowest tax levels in all of Latin America. the tax reforms were vital to the long-term health of public finances here. It would have been far worse if the reforms hadn't been done, because the resulting fiscal deficit would have had very bad consequences for all of us. so what do you prefer, a moderate increase in taxes or an inflation rate of 80% and a drastic devaluation of the peso by the end of this year??, I would choose the former
