Spot on. That is the reason why I think that there are not going to be any Tax reforms nor Labor law reforms, especially the latter. I always make it a point to ask one single question when someone talks about labor law reform: What are we going to do with the Labor Tribune, which has hundreds of thousands of well paid jobs, starting from a mere clerk to the President of the Tribune? I don't know if you know that the government is going to introduce a new labor law which will forbid the companies to fire a worker whose wife or girlfriend is pregnant till the baby is 12 months old. First I thought it was a joke, but came to know that it is not. ;D I am sure that this law will create more well paid jobs for "Inspectors" in the Labor Tribune. - João da Silva Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:33:00 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10323/1/#pc_18733 a point for every excess job in the administration ! Joao, let me tell you something that is not coming from me : "A Government is not supposed to, and cannot, create wealth for their citizens. A Government must provide a good environment. In a good environment, entrepreneurs will reveal by themselves. Those who succeed must pay back something to the governemt, through taxes" This is as good for companies employed individuals and entrepreneurs ! What does Brazil ? The exact opposite for the country environment : - low and bad overall education - very bad and low infrastructure - the world highest interest rate after inflation - Every aspect of the companies are controlled by the government through administrative forms, red tape and corruption. - the more tax layers and admin. forms layers there is, the more government administration workers there will be...by definition. Even the Brazilian Government loans subsidies are made from a Government Controlled Rate (TJLP), PLUS PLUS PLUS PLUS all the financial DIFFERENT intermediaries various charges....ending usually AT AROUND 1 time the TJLP rate....AS ADDITIONAL COST ! Is all the above PRO BUSINESS ? WELL....... Just look at your Doing Business ranking !!!! - ch.c.

And LOSERS are by definition...cheaters, liars and hiders...such as Brazil ! New promises are then promised...but never come true. Just look once more at your ranking of Doing Business. Brazil rank is 125th out of 185 countries or so. Better yet, analyzing the report you will see that a an average size Brazilian Company has to spend 2600 hours YEARLY...to figure out and paying their various tax bills. THE WORLD WORST RANKING ! World second worst ? Cameroon with "only" 1400 hours ! NOOO ? Do I lie or dont know what I am talking ?
