Do you see this R$ 50.00 bill here?
This should be debated for the whole Brazilian population.
All politicians in Brazil should be debating this.
R$ 50.00 today is what the so-called worker receives for working eight hours a day.
R$ 50.00.
This is what the worker receives.
You can't even buy a pizza with this today, you can't.
So it only shows that the minimum wage is too low and the worker's cost of living today is extremely high.
So you can't do anything.
Because today the worker receives R$ 1,600.00.
And on a day he works eight hours, it's R$ 50.00.
So I wanted to make a comparison here, Mr. President, with the CLT worker, as I showed you, who earns R$ 50.00, right?
Working eight hours a day and to show what the political class earns.
Of course we work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
I did this calculation working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday here.
The police working three days a week, on a gross salary of R$ 46,000.
Do you know how much that would be, Mr. President?
It would amount to R$ 3,863.00 for working eight hours a day.
R$ 3,863.00 while a worker who works a 6x1 schedule receives R$ 50.00 for working eight hours a day.
And then the political class receives R$ 3,863.00 to work three times a week.
And here we can't even debate the 6x1 schedule, no.
Why can't we debate the 6x1 schedule?
This should be the most important issue on Brazil's agenda.
While we keep fighting left and right, the worker is receiving... R$ 50.00 for working eight hours a day.
Who can't even buy a pizza today.
And we can't debate this.
Of course we can debate it.
This should be the most important issue in Brazil.
There is a shortage of labor.
Why?
Because it's not attractive for a worker to receive R$ 1,600.00, with the cost of living so high, to have to work from Monday to Saturday.
While we, Your Excellencies here, together with the judiciary, work — and you know how it is. Here it's Tuesday, Wednesday and so on.
If they go — if on Thursday they work here.
This is the truth and it has to be exposed to the entire Brazilian people.
So we need to debate this responsibly.
The government also has to make concessions, by relieving the payroll burden and reducing taxes for employers.
The balance has to be even, because the source of wealth is the working entrepreneur.
The source of expense is right here for everyone to see.
Everyone sees the three powers: executive, judiciary and legislature.
This is the source of expenditure which many times, unfortunately, besides creating expenses, also steals.
