It's on the news here.

Yet, 56% of the brazilians earn less than the minimum wage (300 usd per month, 3600 a year, per capita). Only 5% make more than 18k (usd) a year.
Almost half of the population has no access to the sewerage system. Seven hundred thousand people have no electric light. (This is official data from the 2010 census)

How is this the American way? Only those foolish enough earn less than minimum wage... a large amount of us make a bit 18K at least... almost ALL of us have access to sewage systems...not sure on the electric lights..but still..how is this American Way..unless you're speaking of America as the Americas



... We probably do buy a large portion of their goods..but doesn't really have anything to do with their living conditions... unless you're saying we should help/invade.... DO WE GET TO USE GUNS ON BRAZIL? OH PLEASE SAY YES! ... Imma shoot me a Jaguar.

There are no Jaguars here. And guns are very restricted (unless you're a drug dealer).

It was more a poor joke trying to figure out what America had to do with it... I know a few Brazilians here in my town who say it is very very bad there right now..hard to do anything.

The well-being for the Have Nots comes later on during the industrialisation process, given that ethics and education develop as well. Same time if you look at the USA and emphasise too much on capitalism or libertarianism the 99% go in a spiral downwards again.

I was joking too Laughing although its the truth Cool Face
To be honest I don't think other countries can take much of the blame. Our problem is simply lack of education, but obviously politicians won't do much to change it (with compulsory voting the masses of idiots vote for idiots...).
