Things will never get better for the Mexican people until they rise up and drive the elitist government leaders from power and then set up their own government

Already happenned in the early 20th Century, something known as the "Mexican Revolution." Unfortunately, it merely replaced the old elite of the Porfiriarto with that of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

And the irony in that ---Porfirio Diaz was a full-blooded Oaxacan Indian who was president of Mexico before the Revolution and he had to exile to Spain. The Mexican people were probably better off in many ways before the Revolution ----the thought of an Indian president now would be considered absurd by the elites they have now.
