australia where is our wealth?, page-4

Watched a show on ABC sunday night (Foreign Correspondent) about Brazils mining boom they are going great guns. The old labour force over there would be a bit more competitive with 180 million brazillians.

All our money went into purchasing LCD T.V.'s with the $900 handouts. The rest has gone up in smoke with the government debating carbon dioxide for the last 5 years. What a waste of time that has been!!!! Just double our tax on fuel and be done with it.

- There's an Awful Lot of Money in Brazil
It?s a big southern land, with beautiful beaches, sun worshipping citizens and a mother lode of natural riches fuelling a remarkable economic boom that?s the envy of the rest of the world. Sound familiar? Of course it does. Only the numbers popping out of Brazil?s phenomenal financial growth leave Australia in the shade. And while the US and Europe were smashed by the global financial crisis, Brazil stepped on the gas. Very soon it will be the 5th largest economy in the world. Milagroso!
