Mexicans, to take but one example, value family and leisure. This is a stereotype, but in my own experience largely an accurate one. When Americans are busting their asses to get things done, Mexicans are sitting around talking. Where Americans, given the opportunity for corruption or theft, by and large do the right thing, Mexicans take bribes and steal, if the victims are not a part of their social group.
These two factors, and these two factors alone, are the principle reason that our nations differ so much in their economic success. Put simply, it is as simple as math figuring out why nations prosper. We trust one another, because most of us can be counted on to do the right thing. Mexicans do not trust one another, because a great many of them cannot be counted on to do the right thing. That is why their nation is so awful millions of them choose to abandon it and come here illegally.
One is not supposed to say these things, of course, but I am not saying anything many are not thinking.
How did it get so hard to speak the truth in public?
