This is so dangerous and true... good luck, Mexico! rest of latin america should follow your example and start their own.

The last time it happened in Mexico when Students tried to fight the PRI before the Olimpics, well.... many people got killed or dissapeared. And the entire world looked the other way.
And yes, any revolution whatsoever to try and disband our current "tyrants" will get the US to join on the current goverment aid. We are a neighbor country, they can't just let a war happen at their doorstep.

Big corporations don't pay taxes. Ridiculous salary of mayors. High salaries in the government. That's a lot of money that only a couple of people maintain.
Also, eliminating monopolies meaning that there will have to be competition, which means that they'll have to adjust prices in order to keep consumers because there will be other options.
I do agree with you in many aspects Loose, but AMLO is getting ahead of himself. If he would have wanted to do this right, he would have made step by step. Specially on the monopolies.
