Brazil’s Massive Tax Changes Set to Roil Already Struggling Consumers

While officials say they’re streamlining the country’s notoriously complex tax system, some say a high VAT will hurt low-income households.

have been seeing where brazil is one of the upcoming world powers,bricks etc. this kinda says otherwise. seems to me their problems are similar to ours. out of control crime,massive poverty,inept/corrupt gov for a few. they did also elect (fraudulently ones hears) a communist like us. as i recall persecution of political opponents is also in play. china is not doing too well either and europe is gone. guess when we tank we will have a lot of company.

The Brazilians I have spoken to, and 100% sure it was a stolen election. Up north there is tremendous corruption from the narcos, plus there was most likely USA style vote stealing. The theft-in-chief is just trying to steal as many millions as possible, partly to stay in power and partly to control the .gov with bribes, etc.

tx for confirming. i know they have a very dif culture and history from us. just never recognized that they seem to be in the same sort of terminal spiral as us. i do know they have been undergoing massive environmental destruction for decades which may be a global problem. solutions to that are problematic. we will soon also undergo further narco cartel disruption.
