American Thinker: Welcome to Brazil: Lessons for the American People to Learn: "The only problem is that there far from enough legitimate jobs. As with the unions in the US, the legitimate jobs have priced themselves out of the market. Fortunately for Brazil, the jobs are driven underground instead of to Mexico or China.This is a RTWT for all of you scratching your heads about Brazil's supposed economic miracle under communist leadership. And welcome to your future...
So there is a huge underground economy operating on a cash-only basis that keeps Brazil driving, if not afloat. Some estimates offer that from one-third to one-half of the jobs are under the table. If these jobs disappeared, this supposed economic darling would collapse literally overnight.
The same government that supposedly looks out for the Working Man keeps a blind eye to the underground economy because it has to."
And Terry Gilliam was no dummy was he, Buttle?
