A “taxpayer” in Spanish is “contribuyente” >a person who contributes
“When the state calls you a person who contributes with taxes, it’s equivalent to a rapist calling his victim his girlfriend” or some variation of that would be the case for a better understanding

Some of Milei’s thoughts on tax include:
 
“It seems to me an attack on our intellect when politicians refer to taxpayers as contributors. It’s like the rapist referring to his victim as his girlfriend”.
