Tax reform: control of profits transfer by multinational companies with headquarters abroad ? the profit should be reinvested in Brazil. Income tax would be proportional to personal profit.
Land reform: properties larger than 600hectares would be expropriated and redistributed to the population by the government.
Urban reform: people could own only a single house. Those who had more than one urban property would have to donate them or sell their properties at low prices.

(Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem-Terra, MST) . The backbone of their movement is land occupation. Today, 47 percent of Brazil's land is owned by just 1 percent of the population, making the country's land distribution the second most unequal in the world. As a result, a class of four and a half million people are left on the verge of starvation, without land of their own.
