Comments for Brazilian Supreme Knocks Down Congress's 91% Hike, But They Still Want It at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 6 out of 6 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:14:51 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7694/1/#pc_6164 Não acho uma boa idéia não a volta dos militares no poder. Aliás, isso seria um pesadelo! Pelo amor dos meus filhinhos... Os três poderes são importantes porque eles equilibram a divisão de forças. Se o presidente toma uma atitude que não é popular no país, tanto o Congresso quanto o Judiciário tem poder legal para barrar a medida. O mesmo pode-se dizer com relação aos demais. Aliás, se o aumentão tivesse passado, o presidente poderia, como o judiciário o fez, impedir essa lei, baseado em premissas diferentes, inclusive o clamor popular. Agora, o que eu acho muito interessante é o projeto de lei de alguns congressistas de eliminar o voto obrigatório e o projeto de diminuir o número de parlamentares. Isso daí pode ser uma mais do que ótima lei. Fique de olhe, eles irão votar essa proposta no começo do ano que vem.

There have been a few protests in the streets and a lot of criticism in the media against the measure. But probably nothing would have happened if it weren't for the Supreme intervention" Ok, here's the real picture on this issue. Since last Friday, people have been talking over it. Several newspapers, radio stations, channel TVs, interviewing people on the street, specialists, hitting the same key over and over. On Monday the Legislative TV, Parliament TV expressed how many emails congressmen and congresswomen received. Students, union leaders on the streets hostilizing Brasilia politicians, a petition online with more than one hundred thousand people signed... Now, how can this writer say that "probably nothing would have happened if it weren't for the Supreme intervention"? - acauã ninja Wed, 20 Dec 2006 21:35:38 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7694/1/#pc_6158 It is an unfortunate fact, that many Brazilians have resigned already, arguing that nothing will change if they oppose. People are tired of fighting the daily incorrectnesses and hardships and instead try to focus their mind on a little happiness they can create for themselves. Otherwise life becomes really unbearable. Where are the leaders who can create serious mass movements like you so often have seen in the eastern european countries ? Movements that are so forceful that the politicians have no other choice as to react to their voters. The recent salary increase is a blow in the face of ordinary hardworking people who struggle and are being squeezed to the limits. There is no justification whatsoever. In any international private corporation one has first to deliver and work like a maniac to be able to receive such income. Successes justify high incomes - nothing else. Here it looks like a self service shop with strong tendencies towards a feudalistic system. But as said before... the people are so tired to stand up. - annie Hasemanns Wed, 20 Dec 2006 16:57:53 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7694/1/#pc_6154 sei q a minha opinião vai chocar muita gente, mas no meu entender a única forma de acabar com a corrupção no brasil é a volta dos militares ao poder, com o fechamento do congresso, pensem bem: cada deputado ou senador custa 100.000,00/mes entre salário e mordomias(fonte: tv bandeirantes) e são 513 ao todo, para que? trabalham 2 dias por semana e ainda esses 2 dias não é pelo povo, é pelo bolso deles mesmo, então além dos 100.000,00/ mes ainda tem o dinheiro público roubado diariamente por estes safados, e nós (povo) que sustentamos esses vagabundos com caros impostos, na ditadura não havia liberdade de expressão, tudo bem, mas pelo menos o povo tinha emprego, salário justo e não passava fome. - brasileiro de verdade!!

Those interested should only look in the Jan/Feb 2006 news in this same site. Several articles were already well documented. - ch.c.

They are teling the people they only care about themselves, if no one objects then they will believe that is what you want them to do and it won't stop there, but you already know that, all the thieves are not out on the street. The courts took the first step, the next step has to come from the people, the politicians work for you. Take this first step, then another, then another and you and your families will win, just one step at a time to live better and more fairly. Is it their country or is it yours ? Up to you. - alltheway Wed, 20 Dec 2006 06:38:12 +0100
