Is the Mexican government ever going to start taking care of their people? Are the leaders there that bad??
Answer:
Yes the Mexican government is very corrupt. The government is starving their own people and pocketing the money they only share with the other crooks. Drug lords are pretty much in control of everything. In all honesty I think they US should overthrow their government like we did in Iraq but for the right reasons and bring Mexico into the union.
mexico houses as lot of corruption and violence
there needs to be better leaders and the gap between poor and rich needs to be closed
i've been there several times; enough to know what's wrong with it
in mexico, you are either very rich, or very poor
I don't know, I was wondering the same thing...from what I hear it is either rich or poor.
Graft and corruptions. Mexico Goverment is sucker.
It is highly unlikely that the Mexican government will ever care about its citizens. They are beyond "bad" - they are pure evil.
[A few paragraphs from the LINK]
When Vicente Fox was sworn in as president of Mexico on Dec. 1, 2000, he carried with him a huge burden: the public's expectation that he would liberate from corruption a country that had become symbolic of the scourge. Fox was the first Mexican president from an opposition party after 71 years of autocratic control by the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or P.R.I., which maintained its grip on Mexico principally through corruption.
Mexico's hopes for Fox were extraordinary, but new presidents nearly everywhere assume their nations' leadership with the expectation that they will clean up graft of some kind -- usually because they have promised it. Perhaps candidates in Finland, the world's least corrupt nation, don't tend to run on an anticorruption platform, but they do in most other nations, and not just poor or authoritarian ones. Inaugural speeches in capitals across the globe are filled with condemnations of past misbehavior and vows that tolerance for theft and bribery has ended; in his inaugural address, Fox said that combating corruption, ''until now a goal of secondary importance, will from today on be a national priority.''
Yet just as sure as a new leader's pledge to clean up the corruption of his predecessor is the certainty that his successor will, in a few years, be doing the same. Presidents who come to office promising to fight graft almost always fail -- occasionally leaving office several million dollars richer themselves. Arrests are made -- but often only of political rivals. Anticorruption campaigns come and go -- and still it requires a 30 percent payoff to build a highway, buildings fall down because inspectors are bribed and drivers prepare for an assault on their wallets when they see a cop.
As the world turns its attention from whether to fight corruption toward how, some surprising lessons are emerging:
• The most corrupt nations are indeed poor ones, but grand corruption can be found everywhere: illicit deals between top officials and big business have brought down governments in Japan and Europe. Money distorts America's political system as well -- that it is largely legal does not make it less corrupt.
• Big governments tend to be less corrupt. It might seem intuitive that a large role for government in the economy would provide a large opportunity for mischief, but in fact weak states often lack the mechanisms to fight graft.
• Democracy helps -- a free press, strong opposition political parties, an independent judiciary and a healthy civil society all limit corruption. But getting there is perilous. The transition to democracy tends to be a very corrupt period, during which shaky institutions, rapid privatizations and unclear rules contribute to the problem. Countries recently emerging from dictatorship tend to be more corrupt than the dictatorships they displaced.
• Regional variations are unpredictable. Northern European countries tend to be less corrupt than Southern European countries. But a clean colonizer doesn't mean a clean colony. Although Britain is now one of the least corrupt European countries, Bangladesh and Nigeria, former British colonies, score high on a global list of the most corrupt countries.
• A key factor is how a country makes its money. Oil hurts. Countries that make their money from oil have usually neglected to develop a middle class and solid political institutions. High levels of non-oil international trade help, perhaps because trade has historically given powerful private citizens an interest in effective government and leaders incentive to raise standards to international levels. Singapore, Hong Kong, Chile and Botswana, all trading nations, are significantly less corrupt than their neighbors and cleaner than many wealthier countries.
I rather doubt it. They rather have us take care of them instead.
Mexican government take care mainly of their interests and those of their close circles. There is a very rich upper class that controls most of the wealth and power and they intend to keep it that way... Of course a lot of politics do care about people and do make significant achievements, but still. well educated people have far more opportunities and make far more money than those that dont have a good education... unfortunately there is no such thing as quality public education. at least not in preschool, elementary or highschool level (there is one decent public university). Private education is excellent, but very expensive. Thus, the vicious cycle draws a line between higher middle classes (and up) and lower middle classes (and down). The system kinda works for those who can afford to be in the correct side of that thin red line (about 30% of the population), and doesnt work at all for the rest.
So, sometimes leaders WONT do actions to benefit the country except it very much benefits them. sometimes they WOULD but they dont have the budget or the political support... sometimes they DO, but this is the least of times, and most times they DONT because they are too lazy, or too corrupt, or because their political party can allow some actions because it would mean that there is a sign of agreement between them
One last thing, and it isnt for any of you to feel offended.. A LOOOOT of times, polititians act the way they do out of U.S interests (tax subsides, breaking of environmental regulations to allow dumping from intl companies, etc etc)
UPDATE for the DUMB *** broad that wrote that she "thinks" the best solution is to overthrow mexican government the same way it was done in Irak:
Who are you? just how stupid are you? are you even old enough to vote (hope not)?? and if you are, I hope you are too dumb to even care.
Just name ONE reason why you would think that the fate of mexican government, or better yet, mexican people, is up to your government, or even worse, to people like you?
