I don't like to use the US as a role model, why do you think that? Also, how do you know I am a brazilian? I could spend a lot of time here elaborating a reform proposal, but that would be pointless, right? You don't have the power to do the reform even if you get convinced. It is better to just come here and state the obvious, hoping that other commenters may be interested in learning some basic economics -- not of Keynes variety, which is a separate discipline -- and accept that labour laws are mostly bad. After we get more people convinced of it we can elaborate a politically feasible reform.
