We the people have to change... - João CarlosR Silva Sat, 27 Jan 2007 13:04:06 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7822/54/#pc_6621 To: nyc guy Your prophecy might come true. There is every chance that BRIC might drop B and go just RIC. I would be sad too,but I guess the Brazilians know what they are doing.Unfortunately, the young generation of Brazilians is very sensitive to constructive criticisms. After analysing PAC, I could not help laughing. Brazil went back 20 years in time. James R is correct. It does not mention anything about Tax and Social Security reforms. I might add another reform that should be done. Labor Laws. If you want to terminate the contract with your employee,you have to pay 40% fine to him and 10% to the Government of his pension fund. No wonder, Brazil has an average of 10% unemployment rate. - andy murphy Fri, 26 Jan 2007 16:45:23 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7822/54/#pc_6619 In Davos, Lula told that developed countries should not just give money to developing nations, but give them chances for a sustainable growth instead. The funny part is: he does the opposite at home, giving money via "Bolsa Famillia" - a social flag that is out there way before his election, and that was tied to educational compensation. That's an easy key for re-election... And without cutting public expenses, there is no reasonable growth ahead. Hope that BRIC remains as it is - but if it turns out to be just RIC in the near future, I would sadly understand. - nyc guy Fri, 26 Jan 2007 13:46:21 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7822/54/#pc_6615 Lula and his administration have a long way to go in becoming a top emerging country. Hopefully, for the people of Brasil , they will listen and make changes in their tax reform and social security. Concerned in Philly - James R Fri, 26 Jan 2007 03:31:23 +0100
