He's right though. Without any rule of law except for massive corruption in government, of course a few individuals will acquire all the wealth, destroying the middle class. The exact same thing is happening in the US as we speak.

Everyone in the US should learn about Mexico and hate what it is. If we all can do that, perhaps we can save our own country from what it's becoming.
Slim became massively rich because he bought a state-ran phone company, invested in it and made it grow. Is there a law against that?

Does that mean that if I buy a company and pay shitty wages I'll become the richest person in the world? My country has no laws either.

And yeah watch out for Slim because last I heard he is investing in American companies. He might end up owning you all.
Do you not understand the concept of monopolization?

TBH I would be worried about Mexico's corruption when it comes to drug lords rather than Carlos Slim and other entrepreneurs
No chance Slim would be as rich as he is without a corrupt government helping him along. FACT.

I'm not in the business of praising criminals who benefit off of government free lunches.

    And it's ruined a lot of past civilizations.

    Nah, not at all, Rockefeller.

    TBH I'd be more worried about your trip to the Subway in the morning attempting to not be stabbed before I worried about what some upper middle-class White Americans should be worried about.

    Subway? :lol: Are you not aware I live in a country where gas is basically free?

    I'm supposed to go to State College this weekend to partake in the Blue and White game festivities, but I'm really not feeling it. The game is scheduled at the same time as El Classico and the Red Wings second best out of seven with the Coyotes. Plus it will probably rain all day.

    If I go up, I may just skip the football game altogether and sit at the bar.
