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.

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.

"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?

[mikethevike]

These days everything I hear seems to make me angry.

[shrinkermd]

The problem is not Mexicans it is the Mexican government. It has been a failed state for decades. Rather than permit our country to be the repository for their problems, annex Mexico!

Sounds crazy and weird but with an arrangement not dissimilar from Puerto Rico, Mexico could be a successful state.

[Rockitz]

Ping away!

[conservativewasp]

Mexico sounds primed for a Chavez type hard left wing govt. Just what we need on our southern border. Then again maybe we would finally deploy the military and hermetically seal the border.

[mo]

now lemme see if I got this right..rich Mexicans invite our president and senators down to Mexico..where they are browbeaten for their constitituents orneriness about the border..........

[doug from upland]

This is freaking infuriating!

[hershey]

Outraged, and not surprised. Mexico is a nation of thieves.

[Ditto]

Corruption at all levels of society keeps a few wealthy and the rest poor. Mexico, by any measure, is among the most corrupt nations.

[Rick_Michael]

Their law is 'generally upheld' but known for it's corruption. They're foreign investment laws are keeping it from advancing. And speaking as someone that doesn't like big-government, they do have to fairly tax everyone enough to get a descent infrastructure...I mean they have little or no major roads in Mexico.

Just let us govern your country for ten years and we'll change it around. ; )
