yeah I know you did not ask!
Okay I am going to engage in the use stereotypes. My main experience with Mexican people is with those that come here to do menial or hard jobs that most Americans do not want to do. They invariably seem to be hard workers. My other main experience is with Mexicans at these resorts where they pamper to fat tourists who have disposable incomes. The staff there also seem invariably to be hard workers.
It is an established fact that wealth inequality, aka lopsided wealth distribution favoring a few over the many, is economically disadvantageous. Mexico has a very high Gini index. The US does too, but we seem to put more money back into infrastructure, and have a middle class, shrinking though it is.
So we have this country of hard working people, most of whom want to make a better life for self and family. Mexico is already the 16th biggest economy on the planet. What a powerhouse Mexico would be if it removed this hindrance to economic growth that is wealth inequality.
I also wonder about the US. How much better most of us would be if we did not allow so much wealth to accumulate with a few. If this money was going back into schools, infrastructure, health care, etc.
