Now that Carlos Slim Helu is the richest man in the world, will he help Mexico to get on its feet?

Shouldn't he, and his $53.5 billion, help his own country and save its people from poverty?

He ownes a business empire that has created tens of thousands of jobs.

His 53 billion is not in a vault wasting away. It is the value of the companies he owns that provide jobs, goods, services, the tax base and investment opportunity.

So, his 53.5 billion is saving Mexico's people from poverty.

sure Mexican with Lebanese ancestry. i'm surprised how he became able to enhance his fortune by utilising $20 billions whilst in comparison with others.actually i admire the guy. Very humble and straightforward. He does no longer a thank you to apply a working laptop or laptop yet he purely makes use of a small pen and pencil. His house is fairly small and he lives i think shall we mentioned frugal. My well-liked quote from him "El exito no es tener mucho dinero ni hacer las cosas muy bien ni una opinion externa es un bienestar interno" "go out isn't any having too lots money doing issues very sturdy or an exterior opinion this is an inner wellbeing". yet another issues to show out is the different wealthy human beings from Mexico which very own the prevalent television networks television Azteca and Televisa. it is likewise to show out the "Chapo" the drug broker. This names and fortunes can inform you lots a pair of ways the rustic is.

There is only one way in which he could help improve the conditions in Mexico--pay the corrupt politicians *more* than the drug cartels are paying them.

Of course, the cartels have more guns, so he'll have to pay off the military, as well.

No he shouldn't. He is not an enabler.
