2 parties are cost effective for plutocrats not to spend too much of their money. If there were like 6 parties they would overspend to declare the winning guy who'd be protecting their wealth.

Bush after Bush now Clinton after Clinton? Easy and less expensive to declare the winner.

In Brazil we have politicians being prosecuted and we expose everything.

In the US when we have a scandal is a senator in the bathroom doing some monkey business. The media is not going about everything the politicians do. Draft dodger, crash the car while drunk. That's OK. A boquete in the White House with an intern. But we don’t see the suitcase full of cash!!!!

But it is not like us. Down there we chase the bastards wherever they go. Find cash changing hands, bug phone lines to and video tape dirty dealings...

Thus it gives to the ignorant populace the idea: <<Those Brazilians are wayo people; here we are all honest politicians.>>

We trotted a corrupt president (Collor) booted unceremoniously out of office. There's no definition of sex. No sir. There we go by the book and kick the guy out.
