This is the way you dont have to develop any country

[vincentznermita]

In Chile, doing everything right, so good for our president and his friends. The rest are still poor and working to survive.

I hope youtube do not delete my comment, although the president deployed our intelligence agencies that track these comments.

[vincentznermita]

Students protest every week to improve the quality of education in Chile is a business. Even the former minister of education was the owner of the "University Development" as an investor. More than one hundred thousand mobilized, but the police beat and only show the chaos in the news, as well as reduce the multitude of ridiculous (in the last movement were a hundred thousand were said to have thirty thousand).

[vincentznermita]

The government lends money to those who have to study, but must pay more than 150% of the loan.

The population is not happy.

The Indian government mistreats, imprisons him. Create plans "slavery" as the "Plan Araucanía", in which the Indian will be removed from its "cultural context" to serve the tourists.

[vincentznermita]

The macroeconomics of Chile is the most powerful in the region, but favors only 5% of its population.

Yes, it's like in the U.S., only worse.

The government provides housing to those who have, each has between 12 and 25 square meters.

[vincentznermita]

This guy, owns the 10% of the "Chile's annual budget". Along with 4 families, Matte, Luksic, Paulmann and Angelini, all related by friendship and political influence, own 90% of national wealth.

The president's wealth amounts to 2.4 billion dollars, while its government is proposing a minimum wage of $ 400. Employers can benefit from this "minimum wage" through "bonds" that may or may not pay.

He's not a good president.Chile can't live from good intentions.I don't think there's any good intention.The left and the right wing are the same thing;all

they want to do is make more$ for themselves regardless of the pain that is being inflicted upon the people.Makes me angry that Chile had to chose the "lesser evil" in the past election.He is ambitious bc he wants 2 be remembered as being 1 of the greatest presidents,but sadly,he's gonna be remembered as being 1 of the stupidest of all time.

[DearCobrah]

[DANATENS]
