61. Mexico is a very wealthy country
But the wealth is all amassed at the top and NONE trickles down.
I believe I read that 1% control 90% of the wealth (someone correct me if that is wrong).
With corrupton on both sides of the border, one only needs to look at Mexico to see what our country will be in 10 years if we continue the present course.
Now I guess the next question we should ask is, if the government witholds money from its people (not that they would EVER try to take away our Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Student Loans, etc), then when the economy hits the shitter, you can't find a job, there isn't any government assistance, your kids are hungry...what are you going to do?
If your kids were hungry TODAY, would you risk crossing into Canada illegally to find work so that they don't have to be hungry tomorrow?
Or, would you simply wait in line for several months to do it legally?
