article $49
billion is Slim's pickings in Mexico By Marla
Dickerson, March 9, 2007 about
Mexico’s richest man. One also might ask Mexico’s
president why there is
no estate tax and exactly how much Slim pays in
income tax each year. (Meanwhile Slim did not start out
as a
mere shopkeeper—his wife, Soumaya, now deceased,
was the daughter of an industrialist, and niece of
the ex-President of Lebanon—draw your own
conclusions) And while we are at it we might ask why
Mexico has the world’s highest phone rates and why no
U.S. phone company has been able to break into Mexico’s
phone market. (Hint: it isn’t Mexico’s superior
technology) The answers are rather obvious: better to
have U.S. bus drivers pick up the costs of Mexico’s
social services than have Senior Slim pay any share at
all.
While I’m at it: Slim prances around the world
bragging about his famous art collection housed in his
Soumaya Museum, which just happens to anchor an
uppah class (sic) shopping mall he owns. It is famous
only as a world class joke. He is a primary collector of
fake Rodin sculptures and of non-religious Spanish
Colonial Art which was/is almost entirely religious in
nature. Maybe the question is what rock Slim crawled out
from under? If we only knew we could smash it. Most
Mexicans would give a sigh of relief. Naturally the
Wall Street Journal would object.
