R$ 33 millions (£9,62 millions) is the annual cost of a Senator in Brazil. A member of the lower house of the Brazilian Congress, Chamber of Federal Deputies, costs R$ 6,6 millions (£1,92 millions) a year to the taxpayer. R$10,2 millions (£2,97 millions) is the average annual cost of an MP in Brazil, the most expensive in the world, according to a study by 'Transparencia Brazil Institute.'
To have an idea of how tragic it is to the country, remember that the Brazilian Senate has 81 chairs, while the lower house is composed of 513 federal deputies.
Now it gets graphic and you may not want to read it as it may make you sick.

594 x £2,97mi = £1,76bi/year
Shouldn't the protesters in Brazil be asking (better, demanding) the MP's to cut their own earnings down?
They are not the only ones in the Brazilian government sphere to earn absurd sums of money to do nothing or even work against people's interest.Compare it with how the MP's live in Sweden and you'll see how disgusting it is to have to pay for the politicians's luxury.
Watch the video for more details, in Portuguese though.
Think about it.
Also compare:
The minute 'worked' by a Brazilian MP costs R$ 11,545.00 to the tax payer, who earns a basic monthly salary of R$ 678.00.
MP R$ 11,545.00 /MINUTE
Taxpayer R$ 678.00 / MONTH
