Its not the people who make Mexico “Mexico” it is the wealth inequality.

Right, so if the wealth was magically re-distributed tomorrow Mexico’s problems would just go away. There’s something fundamentaly messed up in that country. I have no idea what it is, I’ve never been there, and I only mostly know from the effects it has on the USA or from news reports.

Mexico has a lousy reputation. You are claiming that the rampant corruption is because of wealth inequity? There’s a systemic problem in Mexico. The worlds richest man lives there, and has an actual monopoly (not a pretend one like Microsoft etc) and he has that because the government gave it to him. This seems more like a problem of a poor political culture than one of wealth inequality.
