Without a "Haters gonna Hate" comment, it is because our government imposes ~90% tax over imported products, if it is eletronic it is a bit higher. So, the commerce still wants to make some money, but to sell a product it has taxes too, so the increase is even a bit higher, so i comes to around ~110% of the price.
Like Thiago said, cars are another problem: they increased even more the tax of imported cars last year.

Buying a SIM is restricted to personal buy, if the person isn't in the front of the seller, he/she will not sell it.

Everything here in Brazil, costs the double, the triple, sometimes even more.

This is know as: "Brazil Cost".

For example, a Camaro that costs about ~33k on USA, here it costs ~75,000.00 USD!!! And people are dumb enough to buy it.

We are happy idiots. Don't be surprised.

As long as people here have: beer, Feijoada (bean stew with dead animals - disgusting), carnival, soccer, novel of the Globo, the politicians and the businessmen can exploit the people, because they will be happy with this stuff and to make matters worse, feeling great!

When foreign tourists go away from Brazil after the World Cup and the Olympics, they will say only one thing:

- I never go back on that shitty little place.

Tudo aqui no Brasil, custa o dobro, o triplo, às vezes até mais.

Este é o conhecido: "Custo Brasil".

Por exemplo, um Camaro, que custa cerca de ~33k nos EUA, aqui custa ~75.000,00 USD!! E as pessoas são idiotas o suficiente para comprá-lo.

Somos idiotas felizes. Não se surpreenda.

Enquando as pessoas aqui tiverem: cerveja, feijoada (feijão com animais mortos - nojento), carnaval, futebol, novela da Globo, os políticos e os empresários podem explorar o povo a vontade, pois eles estarão felizes e, para piorar, se sentindo o máximo!!

Quando os turistas extrangeiros forem embora do Brasil, depois da copa do mundo e das olimpíadas, eles irão dizer só uma coisa:

- Eu nunca mais volto naquele lugarzinho de merda.
