What subsidies? I f you are saying that low salaries are subsidies you are wrong, the only thing that is not good to import in here is because the exchange rate is so high (1=3,00 reais), it´s so expensive to import american goods. We import goods that have high aggregate value, we export goods like steel or orange, but those goods they are not manufactured, they have less aggregate value so it costs nothing compared to computers, etc (goods with high aggregate value). That´s the problem with the Free Trading Agreement in America (ALCA in portuguese i dont know in english), if the american government took away the import tariffs in some products we would have a good trade, why the USA Gov puts high tariffs in the brazilian orange?
How many brazilian goods you consum?
This computer that i´m writing right now is american, we dont have a brazilian computer, we have to import, so do you wanna compare the price of a computer with a orange??? And how many jobs they created directly and indirectly, i think the computer creates more jobs...
