They just don't get it. Yes, let's keep raising taxes everywhere. Then we'll have even more "progress."

Brazilian General Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Patriota: "It was interesting to hear Clinton's secretary said that one advantage of the Brazilian system is a collection rate was very high in comparison with other countries. ... This is not necessarily seen as an advantage by the Brazilian public. Many in Brazil think that we need to simplify taxes."
