I love Brasil. The people here make me free good. I went to the Dentist this morning. The Receptionist kissed me and the Dentist hugged. That made my day. That woukd never happen in the States. I love people here. The women are gorgeous and fit. Got three traffic tickets. Not sure how. I pay attention when driving. Crazy! Joey you are dead correct. I will return to the States to visit my kids for 2 weeks but returning to Brasil immediately after. I love it here despite some of the Cons that Joey mentioned. Once you visit Brasil you'll never be the same. Brasilians are wonderful people
tks fr ur very useful videos! I love Brazil so much, I am a girl I ask you kindly are there some cities, in particular, u would advise a girl to live there?,which specific advice u would give to a girl a European that would like to live long in Brazil? could u answer me here? or make a video about it? tks much!
Where about do you reside in Brasil Joey. I plan on retiring there in ~6 months. My wife is from Brasil, also have a son from previous marriage living in Rio Grande de Sul.
You are 100% right. I have been to Brasil twice and planning to fly there again in couple of months. My wife is Brasileira and she is from Floripa, SC. I love Brasil !!! Muito obrigado para seu video.
Hi, Joey! I am from Romania and I am in medical school now. Last summer I went to Brazil for a month with an exchange. I think I am in the same situation you were 5 years ago, I keep dreaming of the day I'll move there! Until now I was thinking that maybe that is a bit unrealistic, but your video gave me the proof that this is not impossible and made me think more seriously about it! I am happy that you are leaving your dream there and wish you the best! Thank you for inspiring me :)
@grigoras ilinca It will be a huge pleasure to have you here, Grigoras : ) I'm in medical school as well (University of São Paulo) and we do receive students from all over the world monthly, I recommend you to check the programs available.
Joey I could see in your eyes how you were so confortable to talk about Pos ....( your point of view). I´m a native portuguese speaker......and When I hear someone talking about my country in a positive perspective, I feel happier for being brazilian. God bless you and all your projects here. TAKE CARE.
my boyfriend is from Brazil and im living in Canada. Were only 18 but we have a plan to move to Brazil in 4 years when I finish college as well! He is already living there, he's Brazilian born and raised there and we have big plans ahead of us I can't wait, I love Brazil
@riyas m h Well someone realy doesnt like their country hahaha...I get it,it has many issues but I personally believe that the pros outweigh the cons it really is a beautiful country.
I have a brazillian boyfriend for 2 years now LDR I'm so excited to see him and the people there are kind even though I'm a pinay I love the country of brazil so much.
the violence of my country it is the reflects of the corruption. the great part of the misery, the poor and the bad structures of hospitals and schools it's the fault of corruption. great video
you must take into account that south, southeast and central west brazil the level of security, education, health is very great in relation to north and northeast of brazil.
Damn man, how talking about Brazil lights you up convinced me that I should take the plunge and at least try life in this country! I've been on the fence for so long.
This is an excellent video about Brazil, but if I must, I'd like to show my personal view of Brazil. I'm Brazilian and I live in a small town inside of Bahia. So the pros of Brazil in my point of view are: - Brazil is a beautiful place, everywhere you go, you'll find nature, beaches, water fountains, nice places to eat with an amazing food variety. Brazil is also a rich source of natural food and resources for industry. Because of the good climate and the happy people. Just so you know, here where I live, we can plant almost any fruit tree/plant and it will surely grow, except for grapes and other plants that require a cold temperature, I'm growing strawberries in my yard and I'm not using any type of chemical potion for it, it's growing naturally. Music is kind of 1/4 good, we have good singers and bands and their song's lyrics are amazing. Now I wanna talk about the cons of Brazil in my point of view: As you said, security isn't a good thing about Brazil and this is true, you can notice by the bars we put in front of our houses and the big walls surrounding them. Robbery and killing is a serious problem in this country and since I'm not in the rich class, I can spend weeks telling stories of crimes. Political corruption is the main problem, it's the source of all problems that comes within, including security. Since the republic was born, Brazil has never been an organized and true country, politics are almost all corrupt, sometimes not because they want to, but because they have to, which doesn't justify the act but it's kinda reality. We pay a lot of high taxes and this money isn't invested on the people, everybody knows it but nobody can do something about it because, well, it's complicated, I won't go further on this 'cuz this involves history and politics. Now let's talk about education, education in Brazil is just poor and full of bullshits, they pass people even though they haven't learned what they were supposed to, we have a high number of people that doesn't speak well, doesn't write well and their minds are closed to learn. Ignorance took part of Brazil because the schools are graduating unprepared people. This week my brother got a Math test which didn't have any math, but history and geography subject and they call it a new way of learning. Universities now are full of smokers, drunk, sex and God knows what else, all but not studying. Music is going down on its lyrics. We have security, educational, political and cultural problems and I don't see this being solved in a hundred of years. I don't blame any foreigner people who come to Brazil and gets amazed by it, it's really a beautiful country for visitors, but when you're born here in a non-rich family, you find yourself in a place where everything is difficult, everything is always messed up because there aren't much opportunities, politicians are always f***ing with us, unemployment and I'm not even talking about those who live in the RJ's favelas. I'm done for now but that's a non-rich Brazilian's point of view, I hope nobody got offended by this. I love my country even though I wish to live in another one, but our leaders are driving it wrong.
That's a very honest opinion, thanks for sharing. I'm deciding between Argentina and Brazil to visit. Brazil looks gorgeous but safety seems like a big problem:(
Glad I'm not wrong trying to persude my family to go to Brazil. I'm thinking of renting somewhere for a couple of months since I have been coming regularly for the past 4 years now that i'm semi- retired. I want to try living there for an extended time from January to March when the weather in the UK is very cold. Any advice?
Couple of things. I love brazil and I dont plan on leaving for a while, but I'm single. If you have a family brazil can become very expensive very fast. Public schools are not good so you have to pay for private schools and there expensive. If you have a way of making a good living here then brazil is an amazing place. But if you cant make a good living here it's still amazing, you just have to live a more simple life cause brazil is not a cheap place. If you are planning on traveling for vacation then heck yes! Its one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. January to March is definitely doable and I think you guys would love it. Especially if you have the british pound. It goes really far here. January and February are the best months to be in brazil too because everyone is on holiday and more relaxed. Just donreseatch on which cities suit your needs. Any questions just send me a message
NIce job as usual Joey - Looks like Brazil does not tax income from non-brazil sources until you become a resident. Excelente. As a resident, it looks like taxes peak at 27.5% which is way lower than USA.
Hi Joey, I am a Brazilian living in your country. Thanks for being so kind to Brazil. I think it is much worse than you painted it. Corruption and violence are out of control in the country. I am from Rio de Janeiro, and there, violence is everywhere, not to mention that Rio Ex-Governor is in jail for stealing. He will probably die in jail if he is not able to "buy" judges and prosecutors (They are greedy and cheap in Brazil) to get him out. Hope you have a good time in Brazil and your life there is free from major problems.
Hey thank you for your feedback! Yes, I made that video a while ago. I still believe that violence and crime is a problem here, but it's not bad everywhere. Brazil is a big country. Rio is much worse than Belo horizonte for example. I live a peaceful life here. But it is a problem I'm Brasil.
I guess Americans never imagined things were so bad in the US. Look at it now -- it is everything Brazil is and then some -- cheating, lying, betrayal of a country, FAKE news, FAKE votes, the DECEASED voting, a clear attempt of a coup to debunk the current government for the past 4 years and continuing, homelessness, business and jobs disappearing, the people more and more in need of handouts from government.
I am a European girl, I love Brazil and Brazilian people so much! If there are any Brazilian that would like to share their culture and language with me reply me here and tell me how we can communicate tks
great video! I am from Alabama, currently in SP for The 5th time and I agree with every point you made! I am planning to live here long term but as of now I only have a tourist visa and just living off funds i saved from the US (which are running out lol) i really hope to find work and legally live here long term. I was wondering if you had any pointers for me, any help is appreciated. Muito obrigado!
Honestly, I don't have much info about visas because I have dual citizenship because my dad is from brazil, but I can put you in contact with people who know. Sorry about the delayed response.
Come prepared by speaking a little Portuguese. I would start taking classes or studying as soon as possible. And just save a good amount of money just until you get set up here cause It's not cheap here. Plan everything. That's about it
I’ve met plenty of Brazilians who don’t cook lol, none the less I agree with you the food is bomb! Living in BH kinda sucks , not a whole lot to do here, so many beautiful places outside it though . I do think Brazilians are afraid of their shadows , they live in waaay to much fear , I had someone tell me that a city I. Just had been in was so dangerous , I told them well I just spent a whole week there and it was very safe , but they kept in insisting and they have never even been . I think ignorance is the problem . We also have a million tickets thanks to the lovely cameras . Super chill is nice except when your in shit unairconditioned grocery store
Totally agree! I made that video ages ago, my view has changed somewhat. But I agree that they are afraid of their shadows. There is just so much misinformation. I did read an article also saying that Brazilians are at the top of the list in the world for people that receive the most negative news from news outlets. This definitely feeds into the paranoia.
Excellent video. I’ve been going to Salvador for 20 years now and bought an apt there 4 years ago, Every trip has a new incredible people experience. And Every trip I make a new friend. However, I have just last year saw my Uber driver get car jacked, was very upsetting. It seems every Brazilian has a crime story. Up until that point I had no crime experience at all. Great balanced video. I do wonder how you have such great Portuguese so fast. I’m still learning again and again. 😩🇧🇷😊
Thanks for the video.I wish you had given examples on the caves names as well as the City built around a mountain and water. Also, How do travel, around Brasil? You drive, bus, plane, friends take you?
Joey. Hi. I need your help. I'm engaged to a Brazilian. What do I need as American, to move to Brazil? What is the process? What documents do I need? What are the steps I need to follow to permanently move to Brazil as a permanent resident? Where do I start? Thank you
Very good video indeed, quite acurate too. But, if you mind, I believe it would be interesting if you elaborated on the cultural differences between the regions of Brazil. I'd love to see an outsider perspective!
Don't believe in this Guy. Brazil's a fantastic country. A lot of beauty landscape at All states and regions. There isn't any country in the world with such diversity and oportunities!
In the sense of questions I would ask I can only find those from months ago unless I’m bad lol, but wanted to ask some things cause I’m curious as I may join my gf in a few years. 1) how is the corruption now? Has it been getting better? How extensive is it and impactful on everyone’s lives? 2) Been seeing a lot of talk from Brazilians of an economic crisis that has been pretty bad but slowly been getting better, granted they’re from 2018 so idk how correct it is now, what would you say? Is it getting better? 3) May tie in with the last one but cost of living seems to be another massive issue with private schooling and such, is it hard to live as middle class almost high class in Brazil? And how hard is it for people to achieve their dream careers? I honestly have heard nothing of that last one being an issue just thought of it. Thanks for reading all of this if you did I know it’s a handful just can’t seem to find any current information. Great vid keep up the cool work! 😁
Hey thanks for the comment! Glad to help. So yeah corruption is still a problem, but it is definitely getting better because now everyone is aware of the problem and are fighting to fix it. In terms of the corruption effecting you, it's not really that apparent. Things just take longer for the government to get stuff done and funding for things like the public health care gets off. But I still thing the healthcare system is not bad here. Yes thencostvof living is very high here. Things are very expensive but o make a decent living and have a good life here. You just need to live more simply. Like incant afford a new iPhone every year like I did in the usa but I'm ok with that simpler is better for me. Brazilians love to travel and so do I. I rather travel than buy new things. It won't be easy for you to find a good job here without portuguese. Only teaching english which is a good way to make a living sont get me wrong, but without Portuguese that's your only option. And yes private education (exceptnat the university level) isnthe best way to go, but its extremely expensive. Having kids here is not cheap. But if you can make dollars, pounds, or euros and live here then you will be living the good life here my friend. Hope that helped!
hello. How about the visa? I live in Thailand now and it's a pain in the ass. Visa runs every 3 month or a study visa for 8 month but with a 3 month check every 3 month. How about Brazil?
Melhor Estado para se viver com segurança e qualidade de vida é SANTA CATARINA. Muitos estrangeiros norte americanos,canadenses,alemães (contemporâneos) etc...tem descoberto este paraíso e os imóveis estão em pleno vapor de vendas e locações.
Holy crap are you sure you arent brazilian? Lmao your pronunciation of portuguese is pretty much perfect! Haha. Especially jabuticaba Edit: nevermind! I saw your dad is brazilian in a comment, i might have missed it in the vid if you mentioned it 😂
The violence is very, very real, and if you have not experienced it yet, I'm sad to say it's probably only a matter of time. I lived in Brazil from 2005-2019. I was mugged twice, saw someone shot and killed right in front of me, and my wife (who is Brazilian) was robbed at gunpoint. No, violence should not define Brazil or Brazilians. But it is a fact of life in Brazil and anyone thinking of living in Brazil should not underestimate just how cheap the value of life is (for many) in Brazil.
I made that video a long time ago, so my views have shifted a bit. I have still never experienced any problems though and I've been here for three years. I just know my city, I know where to go and where to avoid. I also know who I should associate with. When I travel to other parts of the country I ask people where I should avoid. Seems like this has worked for me. Thanks for the comment! My city is pretty safe also compared to other major metropolitan areas here.
A violência no Brasil não é maior ou menor que outros países tido como desenvolvidos.morei em Londres e achei bem pesado!sofri assaltos no metrô. Vi espancamentos a luz do dia e pior!!!ninguém fazia nada!!!parecia que não estava acontecendo...todos passavam e nem olhavam,fiquei paralisada.Dentro do metrô com câmeras e acontecer isso??? e ninguém pode sair tranquilo a noite nos bairros londrinos. Ao menos no Brasil alguém se importa e faz alarde para chamar atenção.ou seja se importa com outro ser humano. O problema da violência no Brasil não passa por pobreza e sim.por falta de punições pesadas onde a maioria de países desenvolvidos defendem os "direitos dos manos"por todo mundo. Pessoas de países exatamente onde vc e sua esposa brasileira se refugiam fugindo da violência no Brasil.
Concordo,mas temos que ter ciência que os direitos dos manos vêm exatamente destes países considerados de primeiro mundo que não admitem leis mais pesadas para bandidagem mundial.
You are completely wrong about taxation and corruption in Brazil. In Brazil, overall taxation represents 34% of total GNP, basically the same of OECD countries (33%). The problem about taxation in Brazil is that the the poor are heavily taxed, not the rich and the high-middle class who obstruct every effort to change that iniquous regressive system. The public perception of the coruption problem (and to a lesser degree street violence too) is fairly exagerated because the mass- midia like to make scandalous headlines about it. Actually, corrupeted officials and politicians have no easy life because they are under constant surveillance from the midia (as mentioned), political enemies, and public persecutors. Unfortunately, private enterprises_ the actual corruptors and beneficiaries of corruptoin in most of the cases _ are not exposed and persecuted to the same degree. You are on political science and fluent in Portuguese nevertheless you replicate oversimplistic negative stereotypes about the countyry that are typical of the resentful right-wing oriented Brazilian middle class, that I assume is the kind of people you most socially interact with while in Brazil, that kind of people who pamper white foreigners while despise dark-skinned economic (Haitians) and political refugees (Africans). But there is a huge contry beyond the bubble, diversify your sources of information.
I hope you enjoy the video! :)
You don't train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while there? I would kill for a chance to train in the motherland of the art.

You are 100% right. I have been to Brasil twice and planning to fly there again in couple of months. My wife is Brasileira and she is from Floripa, SC. I love Brasil !!! Muito obrigado para seu video.

This is an excellent video about Brazil, but if I must, I'd like to show my personal view of Brazil. I'm Brazilian and I live in a small town inside of Bahia. So the pros of Brazil in my point of view are:
- Brazil is a beautiful place, everywhere you go, you'll find nature, beaches, water fountains, nice places to eat with an amazing food variety. Brazil is also a rich source of natural food and resources for industry. Because of the good climate and the happy people. Just so you know, here where I live, we can plant almost any fruit tree/plant and it will surely grow, except for grapes and other plants that require a cold temperature, I'm growing strawberries in my yard and I'm not using any type of chemical potion for it, it's growing naturally.

Now I wanna talk about the cons of Brazil in my point of view:
As you said, security isn't a good thing about Brazil and this is true, you can notice by the bars we put in front of our houses and the big walls surrounding them.

Muito obrigado pelo comentário. Vou visitar! 😀👍
North/Northeast is great indeed, really miss being up there
Than do it! Life is too short my friend. 👍😁
Excellent video. I’ve been going to Salvador for 20 years now and bought an apt there 4 years ago, Every trip has a new incredible people experience. And Every trip I make a new friend. However, I have just last year saw my Uber driver get car jacked, was very upsetting. It seems every Brazilian has a crime story. Up until that point I had no crime experience at all. Great balanced video. I do wonder how you have such great Portuguese so fast. I’m still learning again and again. 😩🇧🇷😊
Bom vídeo! Vim pelo Alwhites e vou assistir todos seus vídeos ❤️👍🏻
Thanks for the video.I wish you had given examples on the caves names as well as the City built around a mountain and water. Also, How do travel, around Brasil? You drive, bus, plane, friends take you?
Thanks for the comment! I have a car here, so I usually drive. Sometimes I find good deals on flights as well.
Great vid Joey
Thanks so much!
Joey. Hi. I need your help. I'm engaged to a Brazilian. What do I need as American, to move to Brazil? What is the process? What documents do I need? What are the steps I need to follow to permanently move to Brazil as a permanent resident? Where do I start? Thank you
Hey man! Message me on instagram . "Joeyddelfino". Its easier so I can send you a voice message. Too much to type. Lol
@@joeydelfino448 Thank you for such a quick response! I'll message you on instagram
👍👍
er......maybe just ask the Brazilian Embassy ?? Instead of some random guy on TH-cam..?
I loved your video! Sotaque de gringo é lindin demais lol
Very good video indeed, quite acurate too. But, if you mind, I believe it would be interesting if you elaborated on the cultural differences between the regions of Brazil. I'd love to see an outsider perspective!
SporessauroAstro hey thanks! Definitely will do it next time !👍
Eu sou brasileiro e o Brasil é um lugar bom mas não e em todo lugar apenas nos estados mais apreciados.
Don't believe in this Guy. Brazil's a fantastic country. A lot of beauty landscape at All states and regions. There isn't any country in the world with such diversity and oportunities!
I love the Brazilians. The people are just beautiful inside and outside. I am seriously considering to move to Brazil. I AM DONE WITH USA!!!!!
Thks ❤boy❤🎉😊
Great Video 🥰😘
Thanks! Welcome
If you don’t mind me asking... what do you do for a living? Or how can you afford living there
I don't mind at all. I am an English teacher here. I made a video about it. It's called "how I make money in Brazil". Hope that helps.
@@joeydelfino448 So, do you also speak Portuguese? or only English will get you by?
I speak semi fluent portuguese. Português is necessary to leave here for sure. It's not like Europe. Most people still dont speak english here.
Acai with powered milk. Yum!!!!
In the sense of questions I would ask I can only find those from months ago unless I’m bad lol, but wanted to ask some things cause I’m curious as I may join my gf in a few years.
1) how is the corruption now? Has it been getting better? How extensive is it and impactful on everyone’s lives?
2) Been seeing a lot of talk from Brazilians of an economic crisis that has been pretty bad but slowly been getting better, granted they’re from 2018 so idk how correct it is now, what would you say? Is it getting better?
3) May tie in with the last one but cost of living seems to be another massive issue with private schooling and such, is it hard to live as middle class almost high class in Brazil? And how hard is it for people to achieve their dream careers? I honestly have heard nothing of that last one being an issue just thought of it.
Thanks for reading all of this if you did I know it’s a handful just can’t seem to find any current information. Great vid keep up the cool work! 😁
Hey thanks for the comment! Glad to help. So yeah corruption is still a problem, but it is definitely getting better because now everyone is aware of the problem and are fighting to fix it. In terms of the corruption effecting you, it's not really that apparent. Things just take longer for the government to get stuff done and funding for things like the public health care gets off. But I still thing the healthcare system is not bad here. Yes thencostvof living is very high here. Things are very expensive but o make a decent living and have a good life here. You just need to live more simply. Like incant afford a new iPhone every year like I did in the usa but I'm ok with that simpler is better for me. Brazilians love to travel and so do I. I rather travel than buy new things. It won't be easy for you to find a good job here without portuguese. Only teaching english which is a good way to make a living sont get me wrong, but without Portuguese that's your only option. And yes private education (exceptnat the university level) isnthe best way to go, but its extremely expensive. Having kids here is not cheap. But if you can make dollars, pounds, or euros and live here then you will be living the good life here my friend. Hope that helped!
Sorry about the mistakes I was in a hurry I had to get to work haha
If you contact me via Instagram "joeyddelfino" I can send you a more comprehensive answer without mistakes haha.
@@joeydelfino448 Oh no it's fine this answered everything to the letter, thanks for the quick reply :D Have a nice day!
👍
hello. How about the visa? I live in Thailand now and it's a pain in the ass. Visa runs every 3 month or a study visa for 8 month but with a 3 month check every 3 month. How about Brazil?
by the way many people who started with THailand move to Vietnam cause 6 month visa on arrival.
Honestly I don't know. I am a dual citizen because my dad is from Brazil, so I never went through that process. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
Serge Serhiovich if you’re Americans you don’t need visa no more!
Try to make the videos more interesting ...show the sights and sounds to make the point more valid....have some more light in your videos.
I AM IN!!!
Sweet! Haha
what part of Brazil do you live in??
I live in Minas gerais. In a city called Belo Horizonte.
@@joeydelfino448 KOOL thanks fo the repy!!!
Melhor Estado para se viver com segurança e qualidade de vida é SANTA CATARINA.
Muitos estrangeiros norte americanos,canadenses,alemães (contemporâneos) etc...tem descoberto este paraíso e os imóveis estão em pleno vapor de vendas e locações.
Holy crap are you sure you arent brazilian? Lmao your pronunciation of portuguese is pretty much perfect! Haha. Especially jabuticaba
Edit: nevermind! I saw your dad is brazilian in a comment, i might have missed it in the vid if you mentioned it 😂
Thanks man! Hahah I studied for a long time and I have been in Brazil three years. Haha thanks for the comment!
Em todo Canto existe pró é contras dependente do país e Lutar rsrs
I think rio de janeiro looks beautiful do you think its better or is all brazil culture the same everywhere as u descriped?
Sam cirrus culture varies greatly, even from state to state
Love me some jabuticaba!!!
Me too! I am obsessed. With acai too haha
....I think the parties....
Agreed lol
Is Brazil LGBT friendly?
Yes very LGBT friendly from what I've seen.
The violence is very, very real, and if you have not experienced it yet, I'm sad to say it's probably only a matter of time. I lived in Brazil from 2005-2019. I was mugged twice, saw someone shot and killed right in front of me, and my wife (who is Brazilian) was robbed at gunpoint. No, violence should not define Brazil or Brazilians. But it is a fact of life in Brazil and anyone thinking of living in Brazil should not underestimate just how cheap the value of life is (for many) in Brazil.
I made that video a long time ago, so my views have shifted a bit. I have still never experienced any problems though and I've been here for three years. I just know my city, I know where to go and where to avoid. I also know who I should associate with. When I travel to other parts of the country I ask people where I should avoid. Seems like this has worked for me. Thanks for the comment! My city is pretty safe also compared to other major metropolitan areas here.
@@joeydelfino448Yeah definitely depends on where you live. I lived mostly in Belém, for what it's worth.
Yeah the northeast is much more dangerous, but I do agree with what you said. People do need to know that brazil can be dangerous.
A violência no Brasil não é maior ou menor que outros países tido como desenvolvidos.morei em Londres e achei bem pesado!sofri assaltos no metrô.
Vi espancamentos a luz do dia e pior!!!ninguém fazia nada!!!parecia que não estava acontecendo...todos passavam e nem olhavam,fiquei paralisada.Dentro do metrô com câmeras e acontecer isso??? e ninguém pode sair tranquilo a noite nos bairros londrinos.
Ao menos no Brasil alguém se importa e faz alarde para chamar atenção.ou seja se importa com outro ser humano.
O problema da violência no Brasil não passa por pobreza e sim.por falta de punições pesadas onde a maioria de países desenvolvidos defendem os "direitos dos manos"por todo mundo.
Pessoas de países exatamente onde vc e sua esposa brasileira se refugiam fugindo da violência no Brasil.
Even France has the Amazon. Thanks for the video :)
Lmao I just realized how funny this comment was. Welcome.
O. Ruim que lei. Aki não nada bom so isso que atrapanha Brasil
Concordo,mas temos que ter ciência que os direitos dos manos vêm exatamente destes países considerados de primeiro mundo que não admitem leis mais pesadas para bandidagem mundial.
You are completely wrong about taxation and corruption in Brazil. In Brazil, overall taxation represents 34% of total GNP, basically the same of OECD countries (33%). The problem about taxation in Brazil is that the the poor are heavily taxed, not the rich and the high-middle class who obstruct every effort to change that iniquous regressive system.
The public perception of the coruption problem (and to a lesser degree street violence too) is fairly exagerated because the mass- midia like to make scandalous headlines about it. Actually, corrupeted officials and politicians have no easy life because they are under constant surveillance from the midia (as mentioned), political enemies, and public persecutors. Unfortunately, private enterprises_ the actual corruptors and beneficiaries of corruptoin in most of the cases _ are not exposed and persecuted to the same degree.
You are on political science and fluent in Portuguese nevertheless you replicate oversimplistic negative stereotypes about the countyry that are typical of the resentful right-wing oriented Brazilian middle class, that I assume is the kind of people you most socially interact with while in Brazil, that kind of people who pamper white foreigners while despise dark-skinned economic (Haitians) and political refugees (Africans). But there is a huge contry beyond the bubble, diversify your sources of information.
Típico bla bla bla quem fez e faz o L .
O melhor do Brasil é o Brasileiro!
Just with the first 3 cons is more than enough not to live there. I feel really sorry for Brazilians.
I love Brazil.
Hot. Not S**t
