Didn't find this posted. Is anyone angry out there yet?

PS. There are linked references at the site.

Good post.

We gave Mexicao 20 billion last year?

Is there a list of all countries we send money to and the amounts?

[satchmodog9]

already p.o.ed. Always looking for new reasons.

But the Mexican ultra-rich, like telecommunications magnate Carlos Slim shown here

There's Carlos Slim, and then there's Tijeras Carlos Slim.

that $20 bill was in remittances. Mondy sent home to Mexico from the U.S. by mexicans in the U.S.

But yes, since we (taxpayers) pay for all their social services, mexicans can send their money home. In a round about way it is still foreign aid.

I wonder if just taking several polls of the Mexican citizens on the question "Would you like to see Mexico become 30 or so states of the U.S.?" would cause Vincente to ponder the course of his country.

[kinghorse]

what's even more rich is the campesinos who comes to the USA to eek it out have much love and pride for their corrupt failed country. They wave around the flag of the country that spit them out. What a crock.

Shut the remittances off and we could enjoy seeing Fox and his elitist pals experiencing a full Mussolini.

But the Mexican ultra-rich, like telecommunications magnate Carlos Slim shown here, don't like to tax themselves for investment the country badly needs for infrastructure and education...

So let me get this straight. When American politicians talk about taxing citizens as "investment" in "infrastructure", we're (rightly) mad as hornets. But when it's Mexico we're talking about, we're all in favor of socialism...

Nope, still doesn't make sense to me.

" Is anyone angry out there yet? "

Yea, but our supposed Republican controlled congress is in Disney Land while we are up to our butts in drugs, illegals, debt, and political BS!

The last thing I heard from Republicans in DC was garbled, but it sounded like "let them eat cake" or "pound sand" or something like that.

[TexasCajun]

I got it now. :)

"Sure Things in Mexico: Death, Taxes and Evasion "

Mexicans do not pay taxes---period! They won't here, either. They will, however, collect everything allowed after "amnesty". Along with the millions of relatives they'll now be allowed to send for.

Why would we want to allow the creation of another divisive entitlement group with special rights in this country? They shouldn't even be talking about amnesty without offering a return to Constitutional govt.

[joesnuffy]

How much did he or his surrogates make to US politicos last couple of elections?

Quid pro quo trail to follow?

This is not a conservative/socialist issue, this is a legal issue. The issue is whether they should be allowed to illegally export their poor to other countries? If they keep all of their citizens within their borders, they can tax themselves however they damn well please.

[Smogger]

You obviously never been to Mexico.

[litehaus]

Read somewhere that 13/17(?) families run Mexico, own most it etc etc .....Those stats seem 'hidden' nowadays...

[ncountylee]

I read somewhere that the 'record' for extended family that one anchor person was able to bring into the US stands at 150.

[Cyropaedia]

Mexico under the notorious PRI has had a quasi-socialist government to begin with. They may as well put taxes to good use rather than forcing us deal with its poor.

Comprende...??

[Safetgiver]

politicians talk about taxing citizens as "investment" in "infrastructure...I personally do not mind paying taxes for roads, Armed forces or emergency services. I DO mind paying for education of someone else, welfare, health care for others, AIDs education, ACLU and other organizations, etc., etc., etc., and other countries' handouts. mexico can step up to the plate and tax their people for NEEDED projects, but they won't because we will do it for them.
