Uhhh...yeah, and in Chile when the dictator steals the national wealth, they tend not to send ALL of it to Switzerland...maybe just half...
That uh...prolly has something to do with it, too...
Chile is one of the most conservative countries in Latin America. It has had a center-left government for the last few terms, but even they have been basically conservative. It just elected an overtly conservative president from a conservative party, a Chilean billionaire who wants to rev up Chile’s economy even more.
As a result, Chile is the third-wealthiest country in the hemisphere, after the US and Canada. That doesn’t mean they don’t have problems or pockets of poverty, particularly among the indigenous population, but they are light-years away from almost any of the other countries there, particularly as the others sink more deeply into socialism.
