Brazzil

I agree that the law is irresponsible. True, we are doing much more damage than good to the children; they are practically abandoned and exposed to drugs, crime, violence and persistent ignorance.

However, what most people want to see is a quick solution type: please get rid of them, this is embarrassing. But this is basically wrong; the true solution is more humanitarian, more resolute and more educational as stated in the article.

But then a contradictory behavior of the Brazilian voters is detected; when comes the Election Day, most of us then vote for the weirdest, the most incompetent, the most populist and the most ignorant of our politicians. And the children continue to crowd our streets learning how to break the law and confront the police.

...simply change them !!!!!!

In every developped nation....street children are simply not allowed...by laws !!!!

It is an obligation of the governmenst to take care of the most fragile of their citizens....children or not !!!!!

And basically....this is what you have not done....for decades !!!! That explains today's reality for the 50 millions poor brazilians you have not taken care of !!!!!

Shame on your politicians and lawmakers...who spend more time making deals by corruptions to the roots and bribery....behind closed dooors...instead of taking care... of the needy citizens. during their election campaigns, no doubt, everyone...Lula included...promised to take care of the social injustice and social inclusion !!!!!

THEY ALL FAILED AND LIED WITHOUT EXCEPTION !!!!! TODAY REALITY IS THE DECISIONS AND CARE THEY HAVE TAKEN A WHILE AGO. THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR EDUCATION, SANITATION, HOUSING, ROADS, ETC ETC !!!!!!

After the war, Japan was destroyed ! Look today...the second nation in the world ! They did it in one generation !
The same can be said for Germany !
In Ireland, they had religion crisis. Country was very poor...25 years ago. Today they have the highest European per capita income !!!!!!

Your governments vote all the time high social budgets...so they justify how nice they are...and how respectful they are to their promises...before their elections !!!!

BUT...every time...theses budgets are reduced...and reduced again....with reasons of budget restraints and austerity !!!!!!!

In all developped nations...a budget voted is spent ( often even over the budget).....not reduced !!!!!

Are your budget makers...so incompetent...that they cannot make a budget and stick with it......for the following year !!!! Are they not educated enough and so incompetent...that they can not stick with what was voted for ???????

Come on ! Shame on ALL the politicians who voluntarily...have forgotten the most needy brazilians citizens.

Brazilians politicians are so bad....that like some of the brazilian laws....they should be changed !!!

This might sound simplistic but the real problem with Brasil is there is an elite and a destitute class with nothing in between. The elite doesn’t work, and why should they work if they are rich, besides, Brasil have slaves that can do all the work. The extremely poor are too busy trying to find their next lunch. The microscopic middle class can’t do much either. So the status-quo remains forever unchanged. The best things happen in the middle class. Brasil have great laws and a good intention, but as we all know, the road to hell was paved with them. So, it’s sad but It is hard to see any changes soon. Brasil gets a F in just about everything. It is a country that should be doing so much better, it’s really a sin, to have all these resources and so few people able to use them.

Yessss. Laws so great....that :

.....to set up a business you need an average of 152 days. 4 times the world average.
..... 5 % of GDP goes to red tape (bribery to bureaucracy)
.....so many different taxes....that you have one of the highest tax rates...in the world. Because of many differents laws.
....thousand of innocents citizens are killed yearly by your police. They are not punished....because of your laws !!!!!!!!!
....you want to export more and more.....but you tax your agriculture exports by 23 % !!!! good law....for someone who want to export.
....your corrupted politicians almost never go to jail....because of your good laws...in their favor.
....100 billions Reais were money laundered between 1996 and 2002. A few money changers got long jail terms. But....on december 18th 2004 your lawmakers voted not to open an investigation. Normal....92 politicians were named in the report ! Good laws...in their favor !!!!!!!
.....tax evasion is the name of the game....in Brazil....despite laws on taxations !!!!!!!

So what are the good laws in favor of your citizens....except for the elite minority ???????????

Ohhhhhh....by the way.....if your laws are so great....why are they not simply applied ?????????

Yessss....as you said...your country is f**ked in just about everything by your governments and politicians.

You have cattle disease now because you did not spent the 167 millions Reais that were voted and budgeted for sanitation. That amount was silently reduced to 91 millions.
BUT.....only 30 millions were freed !
In the state that got the disease....No cattle was vaccinated. But innocently your government is still trying to find out why the disease came back a year after it disapeared !!!!

How stupid they are. they even go to the EU, USA and Russia to try to convince that we should not put a ban on your meat exports.

Generally speaking your economy is doing reasonably well. So how can a government vote for a budget....and then reduce reduce...reduce...the spending.....to abare minimum...by saying because of budget constraint !!!!!

What will happen on the next worldwide slowdown...or recession ????? Will yopur government stop ALL social programs for the poors....??????? So hunger and poverty will increase again ?????? Sure.....because they dont care !!!!!!!

Why dont they stimulate the internal growth by sharply lowering interet rates, increases the buying power of consumers ?????.

As you know your country is called a Boom and Bust economy. Simply because you rely too much on exports of basic commodities such as agriculture and minerals. You should put added value to these products and tehn export them ! This would add simply....millions of jobs and billions in taxes !!!!!

Dont you find strange that Brazil export cotton to China who ten transorm it in textiles that is re exported in Brazil ????? You have no problem exporting...but complain when added value is exported to YOU !!!!!!!!!

China export of textile in your country represents 1 % of your textile industry but you already threaten them with barriers ! Is that not a true joke. you should know that your overall trade balance with China is highly profitable for you. So why do you complain so louldly ????? Should China not import more grains from the USA instead of from Brazil, because with the USA they have a US$ 170 billions yearly trade surplus ???????

The same between Brazil and the USA. They are your biggest trade partners, you have the highest trade surplus with them....and you continue to say....you still want much more !!!! On top of that most brazilians politicians and even Lula...criticize publicly and actively almost everything the USA do !

Dont you think....that you are not putting an autogoal to....yourself....sooner or later ?????

Cheers

.....you cannot critize as you do your best clients.
they can go and buy......elsewhere...almost all what you are selling to them !!!!!!

Is this what you would not do.... if as the best client of a grocery store....you would hear that the owner hates you and always critizes you on your back ???????? Would you not simply go to another store...where the owner will warmly welcomes you and even give you some discounts in view of everything you will buy him ?????

I bet....you would do it !!!!!!!!

Time is on the buyer side....never on the seller side.Tthe only exception these days are energy products ! None else !!!!!!!!!!!!


Smile..........

Did not the problem of the street children come about in the 1870s under the Law of the Free Womb in which slaveholders decided to emancipate the children of slave children and give them "freedom" simply because they did not want the burden of carrying for them?

I believe this problem is just a leftover from slavery in w hich slave women often had to abandon their children to the streets in order to work long hours in their mistresses homes and the problem is still ongoing today.

To me this seems to be where the problem of the street kids originiated.

Im impressed. Youre truly well informed and very intelligent. You wrote something that people could understand and made the subject intriguing for everyone. Im saving this for future use.
