Because—writes Michael Moore—the Brazilian president has taught the world, but especially the US, a lesson: ”The great irony of Lula da Silva’s presidency—he was elected to a second term in 2006 and will serve through this year—is that even as he tries to propel Brazil into the First World with government social programs like Fome Zero (Zero Hunger), designed to end hunger, and with plans to improve the education available to members of Brazil’s working class, the US looks more like the old Third World every day.“

Quote:”What Lula wants for Brazil is what we used to call the American Dream. We in the US, by contrast, where the richest 1% now own more financial wealth than the bottom 95% combined, are living in a society that is fast becoming more like Brazil.” - Michael Moore
