   Did you know that there's a place in America that has free healthcare and free transportation, among other "radical socialist", and "unrealistic" things for the taxpayer?

   New York? Yeah, right. I'm talking about Brazil! It's in the Americas too! The South one :ms_wink:

     @hackbarth yes, for now we don't have nationwide free transportation, but there are a lot of cities with this benefit.

     And they're working to bring it to the whole country. Other than that, you're absolutely right. We take care of our people.

     @cadusilva free healthcare yes. We have the Sistema Único de Saúde. Free public transportation, no. Not yet.

     But we have free public education, free public universities, government funded scholarships in private universities, Bolsa Família to provide for people in poverty, Benefício de Prestação Continuada for people with disabilities, and other social assistance public programs.

     We may be a developing country but at least we are trying to take care of our people.
