23. I feel like objecting there
to the first point - Mexico is not a third world country?
I did some of my own research and Mexico's per capita GDP is about $9,000 US equivalent (if I am remembering correctly) that is less than minimum wage in the US even if it was equally shared (which it is not in any country in the world). US per capita GDP is upwards of $40,000, although I do not know anyone personally who is that well off, but it does mean we have income as a country. Granted there are serious flaws in GDP as a measure of well being, but it does kinda show how much wealth there is to share.
