... backing the wave of Left-wing sentiment that is sweeping Latin America ...

Why is it "left-wing" to want to help the poor? If you look at the tax returns of "left-wingers" vs. "right wingers," I suspect you'll see that those on the right are the ones giving more to the poor....

Let's put this in perspective. Slim's net worth of about $30 billion dollars is not far off what Mexicans in the US send home every year.

With 20 million customers living in the USA instead of Mexico, its about time Mexican businessmen catch on that Mexico can't keep shipping their most energetic population to the US every year, while only the filthy rich and the filthy poor remain in that derelict country.

"What we need is investment, education, growth and jobs," he said. "What makes opportunities more equal in the world of today, more than anything else, are good nutrition, health and education."

And the poor provide all these things?!?!

This guy's a real genius. /s
