They arrested Eike Batista, he was the richest Brazilian back

maybe a great power, never a superpower

What are you doing! Rich people create jobs, you've doomed yourselves.

Maybe a power?

>>70614117
He was worth negative 1 billion before getting arrested.

As long as the crime rate goes down, I'll accept any label.

We have plenty of millionaires and billionaires, don't worry.

not until you get your citizens to start paying their share of taxes and services.

Brazil being a superpooper still seems more likely than India, at the very least.

Heck, they could technically even surpass China (though it's obviously quite unlikely). Let's not forget that despite being a stagnating corrupt violent monkey-filled banana republic shithole for so long, Brazil is STILL more developed and richer per capita than China. If they start an economic boom in the near future, they could easily become more relevant than China. Heck, if they play their cards right, they could even entirely replace China, now that Trump is in power.

Now that we eliminated corruption, Brazil will soon be the #1 economy on earth, no one can stop us now, it's time to show the world our true capabilities. All those mean things you gringos said about Brazil will be brought to the light and you will be judged.

They jailed Pablo Escobar too.

Stop shitposting Joao.

How can there even be so many corrupt people?

What's stopping a new guy taking his place?

Why are Brazilians so corrupt?

>>70614659
Dilma wasn't particularly corrupt, just retarded.

As for why, it's because the government is too fat and has too much power, our career politicians are pretty much one big mafia family.

Give the power back to the people I say.

>>70614659
Oligarchs at every fucking political level, they don't want to let their power go. We've only just began arresting the ones who give us most trouble.
