Read the text and choose the summary that best captures its core essence: Brazil's growth rate has been low, yet most Brazilians say their financial situation has improved, and they expect it to get even better. This is because most incomes are rising fast, with higher minimum wages an d very low unemployment. The result is falling inequality and a growing middle class - the result of economic stabilization, improved social security an d universal primary education. But despite recent improvements the Brazilian economy is still painfully unequal, with poor Brazilians paying the biggest share of their income in taxes and getting the least back in government services.
