Why is Mexico considered a "Poor" country when there are more BILLIONAIRES there than Switzerland?
Answer:
Mexico is not poor by far... Their GNP is quite good, its just that the top is hording the money and opportunities without spreading the wealth... Its called greed...
This is now happening in the US also, the gap between the have and the have nots is growing rapidly. If we keep on the same track we will see poverty increase rapidly and have more and more people who live below the poverty level. we are letting our middle class be attacked by illegal immigration, our government and big business who will break the law for cheap labor.. Not to mention taxing them to death...
Because they're talking about the general population
Also more people in Mexico. The standard of living lower in Mexico eg health care. The standard of living in the USA is lower than in Switzerland and how many billionaires live in the states.
the money is in the hands of a few, most of the population is extremely poor
Well the white Spaniards have the money ...the other 98 percent of the Mexicans do not.
I would call 98 percent a country .
Because on overwhelming percent of the population lives in poverty. The rich are very rich but the poor are very poor
Their organizations are called DRUG CARTELS
Obviously you haven't been their. Yes some people have money but their is not a welfare system or taxes. You can
not just go get wic or foodstamps when you need them. People live in boxes down their. Some live with shed doors up and no well, no electricity and stuff like that.
because the majority of there people don't know how many zeros there are in a billion...
Because those billionaires are more greedy than all Americans put together (and the mexicans have the nerve to talk about US?).
They're NOT poor, they just suffer from "poor-me" syndrome.
Because Mexico has a large quantity of people living under the poverty level. The "billionaires" are fare fewer than the poor.
They don't have as good of a distibution of wealth as the US.
You basic argument is flawed. Switzerland has lots of descrete BANKS, not billionaires.
-MM
its because most people there dont have billions
maybe because all the real people in mexico are poor.
Weak comparison. Population for one.
That is why the Democrats want to give more money to them so they an ask for it back as a kick back. The Mexican Government get it second most funds from Illegals that send it back and the Libs want to tap in to this big Money.
because Mexico has more POOR people than Switzerland!!!!!!! and there is a greater discrepancy between the rich and poor.
mexico is what america will be soon, you're either rich or poor, but only a select few will be the rich, most will live in poverty.
Mexico is poor because all the wealth is in the hands of just a few!
Get out your atlans and look at the size and population of each of those countries and then think about what you have just asked. Also ask yourself about the size of middle class and poor class in each country. How about the gap between the billionaires and ordinary person in each country? It is not as simple as you might think.
Because billionaires in Switzerland don't smooch off the population.And the tap water there doesn't make you have diarrhea.
Because the average income in Mexico is a fraction of that in Switzerland.
The Mexican elites take advantage of the average citizens. No labor or safety laws. People must work for a very small sum.
That is why US companies move across the border. They don't have to make their company a safe place to work, no benefits, and can use virtual slave labor.
have you ever been to the poorest parts of Mexico?
while the richest man on Earth is Mexican[Carlos Slim Helu, google it if you don't believe me] sadly there isn't really a middle class in Mexico
you have your dirt poor people & your filthy rich people
Be cause the wealth doesn't trickle down. The poor people are really poor. There aren't minimum wage laws. They hardly get paid anything.
Because the MAJORITY of people living there are in POVERTY!
I want to know..what is the pride in
ruling a country in poverty? What is there to BRAG about? Who-whoo----your da rich man among poverty ridden people....what is there to BRAG about? He who has the most marbels wins? He who impregnates the most young women who can't feed their kids is good? Your sperm has been planted far and wide and you're da MAN?
I know what your saying; but plain and simple it's because of the gap between the rich and the poor; also the rich take advantage of the poor by not paying much for their work. I think if the border opened up it would cause widespread controversy.
Poor numerical statistics. What are your sources again? Mexico has had to deal with lots of s--t historically, and corruption is a big problem. Mexico is not a poor country, but a large percentage of its inhabitants are. End of it. The super-rich are a minority.
