I received an email from a friend two days ago, and for my surprise it wasn’t one of those funny or simple urban legends we usually throw away without a second thought.
It was a link for the “INSS”, Brazilian’s institute of Social Health and retirement funds, where they state about a financial help for families of imprisoned people.

Yes, that’s correct: payment for families of burglars, killers or any other social threats while they are in prison!!
The more I think about it, the more I feel indignated about this. Even living in another country, I have to declare my taxes in Brazil, since I have some customers there, and thus pay taxes there. This money is partially used to HELP these people!!!
This is giving me headaches since I first heard about it. And it keeps me wondering if this kind of abuse happens in another country as well? I think not.
What kind of people is that, that can hear about an abuse like this and do NOTHING to change?
