meses. Isso mesmo! Cerca de 10 anos!Todos somos trabalhadores, todos ganhamos, mas veja a diferenca. Temos diferenca paga nos salarios, que sao infimos se comparados com os outros tres paises. E levamos muito, mas muito mais tempo para poder usufruir de um mesmo bem oferecido la fora. Impostos, taxas, varios nomes justificam o valor do carro no Brasil. E mesmo sabendo de tudo isso, nao reclamamos, nao reivindicamos, apenas nos enforcamos para comprar.

I decided to compare four countries: United States, England, Germany and Brazil.I chose as comparative of product of same quality the Volkswagen Jetta car, sedan, basic model.In the United States the minimum wage is weekly paid, 40 legal hours legally. The average amount paid per hour is about $7.50 Dollars, that is to say, if we multiply 40 weekly hours by the value paid per hour in a month we will get about $1,200.00 Dollars (minimum salary).In England it is paid about 5.93 Pounds the working hour. There it is legalized to work 48 weekly hours. Multiplying the working hours by the amount paid in a month we will have a minimum salary of about 1.138,53 Pounds.There is a great debate on minimum salary in Germany. In general, there isnt one by law. But an average found is about 1,277.00 Euros.In Brazil, the working hours are paid for every day of the month. There is no weekly payment as in other countries. The amount paid per hour is R$2.48 Reais. In a day it is paid R$18.17 Reais, being the minimum salary of R$545.00 Reais. Now we will consider the price of the Volkswagen Jetta car, basic model, sedan, 2011, in the four countries.In the United States the model costs around $15,995.00 Dollars. The most expensive comes out for $ 23,000.00 Dollars.In England the car costs 16,960.00 Pounds and the top model is about 22,320.00 Pounds.In Germany the model costs around 20,900.00 Euros.In Brazil the same model of Jetta is sold for R$65,750.00 Reais and the top model costs R$ 89,520.00 Reais.In the United States, a worker needs to save 13,32 months of salary to buy Jetta. In England the worker needs about 14,90 months of salary to afford the same car. One year of salaries is necessary to be able to afford the basic model of Jetta. In Germany, it is necessary to save 16,37 months of salary to buy the basic model.When it comes to Brazil... ohhhh Brazil, my very Brazilian Brazil, the worker needs to save 120,64 months of salary. Quite so! About 10 years!We are all hard-working people, we all earn our salaries, but see the difference. We have difference paid in salaries, it is pitiful if compared to the other three countries. And we take a lot, but a lot of time to afford it. Taxes, fares, several names to justify the value of the car in Brazil. And even knowing all this, we
