I wonder how many of those poor people in Brazil have big screen TVs and cell phones. Wouldn't it be refreshing to have a reporter ask Mrs Clinton a question like that?
Your point?
Brazil has its poverty in the big cities, just like <gasp> the good ol' USofA. That doesn't mean they too shouldn't be 'allowed' cell phones or big screen tvs. You (collectively) seem to think that all poor people should live in abject squallor with no enjoyments other than looking from the outside in. That said, its worldwide human development rating isn't as shabby as some people posting here seem to be hoping (for some reason). Brazil ranks 75th in developing nations regarding its treatment of the classes.

There a different levels of poverty....poverty that doesn't exist in this country but still does in Brazil....which is why there are so many that go into prostitution and the sex trade in that country.
