On October 26th the presidential election took place in Brazil.By a narrow margin of votes (3%) Dilma Rousseff, the current president and socialist candidate from the Workers Party, was reelected. With this victory, the Workers Party will complete 16 years of being in charge of the country. The election was turbulent, marred by allegations of corruption and embezzlement of public funds by the Rousseff campaign. One witness under a plea deal has linked Rousseff and former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, (Lula) to a billionaire fraud in Petrobras, Brazil’s biggest oil company. The company is now under criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The socialists displayed sordid attitudes during the election. A campaign of psychological terror was unleashed against poor people through phone calls and texting with threats that their food allowance would end if they didn’t vote for Rousseff. The same kind of campaign incited the prejudice and confrontation between southern Brazilians—whose majority voted against Rousseff in the first round of the election - and northern. Also, a few days before the election, members of the Socialist Youth Union - a pro-Rousseff communist group - vandalized the building of the media group that had denounced the government corruption during the election. All this happened without any kind of punishment by police or election officials.

Democrats were doing the same thing here.

Most Brazilians have no grounding in political or economic philosophy. They are slowly recognizing that they pay huge taxes and get little from it. Unless there is a revolt soon it may be too late. The southern states of Brazil foot the bill for most of the north and they are beginning to realize that they are chumps.
