Comment: Dear morbie5, like many other countries in the world, Brazil paid the price for the local elite's alignment with American Interest. The income gap got wider thanks to the past and still present American intervention in Latin America, where instead of democracy it supported dictators, as long as they were not communists. America gave Latin America another unwanted present in the form of Hugo Chavez, whom is in power thanks to his anti-American bravado and the oil price which is been pushed up by the Bush Clan and allies in the boardroom of the oil companies. We should also blame the extremely shallow Brazilian elite whom should have looked elsewhere to plot the country's development . Also I would like to suggest that you read some articles about the BRIC countries, it may broaden your limited view on this issue and can prevent you in the future to make these ill informed comments. Please do not be another ignorant living in a bubble 'We Are The World" or maybe you are just another one of the Bush voters . There are life outside the United States of America. Charlemagne
