...The July 2 elections likely will bring new economic policies to this emerging democracy, but few expect sweeping changes in Mexico, where the minimum wage is only $4.50 a day and both government and corporate giants are controlled by an almost tribal elite.
Mexico's key industries are locked up by business moguls that include at least 10 billionaires, led by Carlos Slim Helu. He became the world's third-richest man by profiting off privatization in the 1990s, buying up the government's telephone monopoly and building an empire that now sells everything from cellphones to the enchiladas suizas at his popular Sanborns chain of restaurants.
And while Slim gets richer, top computer engineering graduates get only about $15,000 a year, if they have the personal connections needed to get a job at all. Opening a small business remains a daunting prospect, involving copious paperwork and often bribery.
Sounds like a great place to live, huh?Mexico's Congress has been quick to protect industry leaders who control everything from what Mexicans watch on television to what kind of beer they drink at the cantina.
This year, lawmakers approved a new radio and television law that gives the two leading networks free digital spectrum to cover their existing analog frequencies, paving the way for high-definition, interactive and combined services. Any potential digital rivals will have to pay to compete.
Does this sound at all familiar?It is no wonder at all why they come here and it will not stop in the foreseeable future. They can't even revolt because, thanks mainly to us, the power elite is protected by the Mexican Army, and protest is instantly met with lethal force.
