        Guess they don't want tourists to come anymore. Maybe work on the crime problem instead. 🙄

        Makes sense We over tax the people who work, to give to people who refuse to work Same premise

        Such a socialist solution, NYT probably loves it. Actually fixing the problem of combating crime is too much like hard work...

        so tourists pay when other tourists get robbed? Then all tourists get robbed one way or another. Why even go to Brazil then?

        This will merely incentivize more robbery as crooks will think victims will be made whole by the States tourist tax. Bad policy.

        instead of doing that they need to clean-up their city. Get rid of the slums, literally clean-up the filth and help the poor.
