Reply to comment by __The__Anomaly__ in Mexico's Lopez Obrador leads massive pro-government march by Miserable-Lizard

his views are we should gift all the money to the poor because anyone who is rich is evil and against him.

his aims are to fix absolutely everything (mainly corruption and violence) by doing absolutely nothing... needless to say it hasn't worked so far, at all.

he spends most of his time fighting the political opposition, complaining about the elites using their power to oppose him and blaming them for all things wrong (even though he's the most powerful and in control figure in decades), managing the backlash of all the stupid things he says/does and all the negative results (mainly by, somehow, blaming the elites and past governments as already mentioned ( just mentioning they were even worse if all else fails)) and directing a couple of state megaprojects, which again only generate backlash because they are stupid projects and they get negative results. You see, it's kind of like a vicious cycle of ineptitude and waste.

No Patrick , having the corporations and the rich pay taxes is not giving all the money to the poor

I'm obviously referring to the several welfare programs, like for the now famous "ninis". Note that I don't think this is necessarily bad, if only it were accompanied by many more measures to help everyone prosper. Giving away more money while you're overspending in dubious projects and the economy is contracting is not a very good idea; unless you just want more votes and approval from the poor majority of population, then it's a great idea!
