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.
They have one in the wings. Name is Manuel Lopez-Obrador (M-Lo), and he's up to his hips in bed with Chavez, Castro, all the playas. I frankly like the idea because then maybe we won't have the President out lips-to-glutes of the mexican strongman, and we can have a clear policy. (Why cant WE be the ones who have the strongman?)
The drug cartels would never allow it. They are the real money and power in Mexico. The original "ruling families" now rum most of their businesses at the pleasure of the cartels. As long as the cartels can launder their money through them, they are left alone. By the same token, the cartels and "families" buy and sell the politicians.
The PRI socialists didn't rock the boat as long as they could get their bribe money. What is collected in taxes is no insignificant sum, but aftere all the corrupt government officials pay themselves for their service, there isn't anything left.
If the Rich in Mexico paid more taxes, it would only result in wealthier government officials. Nothing more.
