JUAREZ CARTELS AND FRIEDMAN

There was an article on Sunday February 28 on cnn saying that they captured the third member of the cartel Juarez involved in the shooting of 15 kids in Juarez earlier last month. The state of Juarez has always had problems with killings especially of young women but in The beginning of the year when president Calderon thought things were going to get better actually got worse. In a brutal massacre about 15 men came into a birthday and just started shooting everybody there was at least fifteen dead kids. People want to know why the police didn’t come to the rescue quicker and the answer there is because either there aren’t enough police to cover the shooting or they were too scared. The real reason is because the police were actually in on the shooting they got paid to kill but not the bad but the innocent. The media ask president Calderon about the assassination and he just answers saying that these kids were not just any kids that they were gangbangers or a term that he said “pandilleros”.
The ethical thing to do was to capture the criminals which is capture the policemen that were in on it and capture the government. But you need to start with the head of the organization which is the president. He covers up for the wrong doings of the cartels because he funds them. Friedman believes that the government should not play a role in what the people do. They should play a small role but hardly any. He believes in free market economy system. The cartels that is how they work they do their things legally or illegally. The majority of the stuff they do is illegal but the government has no say in what they do. The government has no say because they are in on it.
The problem here is with corruption how are they going to find a president who is not corrupt and is willing to run for office without getting death threats from the cartels. The answer is that there is no on because they all like to get paid their huge sums of money to keep their mouth shuts. So until there is someone who is man enough to stop the cartels and stop their free market economy then there will always be cartels.
Their free market economy starts off with their soaring sales in cocaine marihuana and other chemical drugs that they distribute to the U.S. they do not get charged taxes because they do not get caught. They also have businesses were they do not get taxed as long as the money they are making goes to the well being of the cartels then no one gets involved and no one gets mad. They use the money for legit businesses in any field the majority is in the automotive field like and also truckers.
