... but there's something we're not doing... I'm going back to the fact of how much the director of a company earns comparing with its lowest employee: in Spain, five to one; in the USA, nine to one; in Mexico, 52 to one... We've got too few people making a lot of money, and too many people making too little. But here's the worst:
What's the percentage of the GNP (Gross National Product) a country gets from taxes? The record goes to Finland, with a 52 per cent of revenue. Mexico has the nine per cent. What does this mean? It means Mexico does not have money to work with; for hospitals, for education... It doesn't matter Felipe Calderón wants things done, he has no money because of tax evasion..."
And it goes on. But the point is, how do we want the country to advance, and the government to do anything, if they don't have the resources to do so? And, even if they had, what guarantees that money will be put to good use and not just go into some politician's pockets?
If only there was something we could do...

well i think that Mexico has the enough money to go on for example we pay a lot of taxes that in other countries dont pay for example the very called nowadays "Tenencia" and also the taxes in mexico like electric anergy, oil, and some others are more expensive so there's the money and like u said "if they had, what guarantees that money will be put to good use and not just go into some politician's pockets" Mexico could be a Industrial country and there comes another factor why Mexico doesnt grow up? and it's because of the USA goverment but well i can tell a lot of thing about that and i'll never end ...
take care see u around the CELEX
be very strict with Roberto & Erandi hahaha no im just kiddin'
Felipe Calderon is the worst "president", because he doesn't, and the goverment only helps to companies to gain money, and doesn't matter if is against of mexican people. And the PELELE (because he does) in his fraudulent political campaing when PAN stolen the presidency, Calderon promised to remove the "tenencia".
You believe in Calderon??? Neither do I.
