[Vision2020] Say What?

[keely emerinemix]

I stand corrected on Mexico's position as the 12th wealthiest country in the world -- I think -- and so find it all the more appalling that so much poverty exists.  I have to conclude that, as is the case in most Latin American countries, this is an example of the injustice of some 90 percent of the wealth being safely lodged in the hands of 10 percent of the people . . . 

Thanks, Chas --
