Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: Brazil remains one of the most unequal countries in the world.
The richest 1% hold 63% of the country's wealth.
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: Meanwhile, the poorest half of the population holds only 2% of the wealth. It is far too much wealth concentrated in the hands of a small segment of the super-rich.
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: The change to the income tax is a decisive step toward transforming this reality. But it is only the first.
