WHY does Mexico have no middle class? Are they TOO capitalistic, or not enough?
The middle class is a capitalist phenomenon. Feudalism is a response to anarchy.

Mexico has some very wealthy Capitalists. That's not it's problem --- it doesn't have Capitalism by the many --- the USA had Capitalism of the majority --- but the way most of us can be Capitalists is by working --- even the Jerry Springer audience types can be Capitalists if they have a job.

I think what it is --- our Founding Fathers set up a government that would promote "the people" and laid the groundwork for a strong stable middle class. The Constitution never mentioned corporations --- but does mention the American people.
