What you fail to understand is basic principles of economics.Yes the rich
are getting richer,But that doesnt mean that the poor are getting poorer.
  MORE WEALTH IS BEING CREATED.
Do you understand that people are working and producing more wealth for
everyone to share.
     I understand that there are poor  people in Mexico.But answer this
honestly.
  Generally:Was the population of Mexico poorer when you were growing up?Is
the poor  population dwindling?
    I suspect that the proportion of people without the basic needs is alot
less than in the past
           PW


How many poor people do you know wearing new shoes, driving a car and using
their cell phone?

The answer is easy.... you are not part of the poor. You're a mid-class guy.

At the end I don't know if the poor are getting poorer, but what is
absolutely true is that the rich are getting richer.

Here in Mexico we have Carlos Slim who's the 4th richer guy in the world (if
not exactly he's always into the top 10). He's getting richer every single
day, and against many people could think he's not a complete bastard, just a
little bit (at least he has made some things to restore antique zones of
cities, parks, etc.).
In contrast we have about 15/20% of population comformed by very poor
people, I mean POOR PEOPLE without any basic services (water, electricity,
etc).
