Brazil also has a very heavy tax burden…

As New Yorkers, we embody the American principle of diversity-- we have a little bit of everything from around the world. In my neighborhood alone, there are three different mosques and then a church. There are three South Asian restaurants around the block, a Mexican restaurant just across the street, and a Chinese restaurant two buildings down from there.
