It's a manipulative take on this that tries to appeal to (irrational) emotion and not rational analysis.
We pay taxes and that's not going to change.
This money goes to government which then allocates in various ways to provide services to people of the country.
Part of this money can be thought of as an investment i.e. government spends money (e.g. on infrastructure like building roads) in hopes that this will generate more economic activity which will enrich the country as a whole.
The only important question is: is this program a better investment that others?
That is hard to tell, but at least to me it appears to be a great one. The cost (on the scale that governments operate) is puny and potential upside (companies that keep operating in Chile, hire Chilean people, pay Chilean taxes) huge.
