#3 Brazil is run by Socialists. Brazilians will tell you themselves quality of Brazilian products is low. Everyone buys American goods sold in Brazil. Taxes are extremely high. Money left over after taxes will take you a lifetime to pay for an un-air-conditioned car that is a standard transmission, not automatic. Most people ride motorcycles or bicycles.

Too many layers of inefficiency because the feds are everywhere duplicating positions that municipalities already have people for. Where you see one municipal police officer in a city, there are two military (federal) police officers. The military and state run operations is the only place to actually make a living. Numerous female Brazilians hold college degrees but are out of work. So they assume the traditional role of house wife and spend the day hanging out with their other girl friends on the front porch in the hammocks and watch the world go by and then everyone parties on the weekends (the carnivals). People learn to live in such environments.

When state owned oil company Petrobraus starting making money all of the politicians required kickbacks. Now it is $300 billion in the red and the numerous political parties are blaming each other for the demise.

Been that way for generations.
