A little about Lula: Lula is a poor drunk. He has never worked on his life. He wants to be a dictator, He steals money from rich people that worked hard to be rich and then give the money the poor people that don't wanna do anything in their lifes. PEOPLE LIKE HIM! I really don't think that you should let a person die because this person has nothing to eat, but this person MUST work to have better conditions, and that's not what goes on. I don't believe that Brazil will be a rich country. People in Brazil use to be dumb, and that's what Lula wants, then they vote him. HE IS JUST LIKE FIDEL CASTRO.
