Mexico has a much higher percentage of poor people than us.
Then they have really rich people. There is not much in between. There is not a big middle class like us.
Most of the world is like this. Even in countries like Switzerland it is hard to become wealthy if you were not born into the right class. This was told to me by a man who was born there and moved here to start a company. He couldn’t get a loan to start his business there. He moved here. My father in law worked for him selling textile manufacturing machinery.
Do you think Elon would be as rich as he is IF he was still living in South Africa? No way.
I was in Italy in October. Out tour guide in Florence said she paid 52% income tax.
We have a tremendous opportunity in this country that many people do not take advantage of. Literally, IF you work hard and save you can become wealthy in one generation. Most other places in the world that is an impossibility.
That is why they come.
Americans worked hard and fought hard to prevent what happened in those countries from happening here. Those people need to do something to fix their own country instead of coming here, getting elected to Congress and trying to change America into the same kind of crapper they came from. (Which is going on here right now.)
