Abstract

This article analyzes the effects produced by the neoliberal hegemony of finance over the tax financing of public policy for social security, healthcare and social assistance during the Lula government in Brazil. It uses traditional Marxist theoretical references and analyzed federal budget data found in the federal Senate SIGA system about the sources of funding for social security. It concludes that workers contribute more than capitalists in the tax financing of social security in the Lula government.
