“What is wrong and so dysfunctional about these Governments.”
TD, you have to look where these “$hit holes” got they conquerors from. Virtually every acre of land from the Mexican border to the Tiera del Fuego was colonized by either the Spaniards or the Portuguese. Whereas, America and Canada were colonized by Northern Europeans ( but mind you, not the current $hit that resides in the countries where our forefathers were born). Spain and Portugal themselves have been ungovernable for all of my lifetime, so its not surprising the kind of “leadership” they’ve provided for our Southern Hemisphere. Even a few fleeing Nazis couldn’t fix Argentina, a country that can’t govern itself, but is always itching for a fight with the Brits over the Falkland Islands, or as they would say, the Malvinas!
Looking deeper one finds the RELIGION that the early ‘conquerers’ practiced.
