Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: In fact, what did we do? We proved to Brazilian society that it is possible to have investment capacity when we plan and when we, you know, put the money in the right place.
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: When we did the PAC in February 2007,
We invested practically one trillion and four billion reais during the whole PAC process to build 13,000 works that were delivered and another 13,000 that remained to be finished, some of which are finishing now.
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: The important point is that, if you know how to work, plan, you will have the money to do things and, at the same time, we are sure that Congress will approve a tax reform so that we can, with the tax reform, tax less.
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: The poorest, the workers, that's why we propose an exemption up to 5,000 reais of non-payment of income tax and to tax the richer, who many times do not pay on profit, on selling. Then we will have money to carry out the policies we did.
