"when do the wealthy and the people in power share that power and wealth willingly? "

They don't. If the others gang together and demand that they share power, then it can happen, however slowly. But that has never happened consistently in Mexico. Especially over the past century or so, the ones with power have managed to sell the idea that the root of Mexico's problems is the US. And, to a limited extent, they have a point. We do meddle in their politics on occasion and we certainly could invest more. In addition, we have exploited Mexico and have been responsible for a lot of nastiness. However, most of those things happened a long time ago. Those events have been exploited to keep the status quo. Until that changes, Mexico will continue to be poor.
