She is a communist she will try to control the economy and tax the people who work so she can get the votes from parasites under the social assistance program, and more if she is reelected the Brazilians are in big trouble.

Rousseff may be leading a protectionist and underwhelming Brazil, especially after the progress that Lula da Silva made, but I do not think that Brazil is down for the count. The country is still a juggernaut, and even if there are a few turns down the road the car is still moving forward. I just hope to become fluent fast enough after a few lessons with BRIC Language Systems to really take advantage of this economic force before everyone else has saturated the market.
