In this respect, I believe Mexico is just like the US. A creative, not illegal, accountant is worth his weight in bacon-wrapped hot dogs. Much more than gold.

Excuse me...in case you didn't notice, I'm not Jesse.

I agree that a lot of businesses maintain double books, but not with your reasons. The Mexican factura system is not particularly difficult to manage and unless one is dealing with international trade, not a major issue. Yeah, it's a bit more complex than in the U.S., chin up to it. The banks indeed are pretty dysfunctional for one that's used to U.S. paradigms.

But I allege that tax avoidance goes much deeper than this, into civic responsibility and execution. Taxes are a way for the pueblo to support community efforts executed by conscientious, honest representatives selected by those whom they represent. You fill in the rest...

Sorry Lencho - but you lost me there somewhere - I think I'm having trouble telling when you're tongue in cheek - and when not...I guess I'm slow - could you fill in some of the rest?

Are you saying that there is something inherent or cultural in mexicans not wanting to support community efforts? Or disdain/mistrust of all things political?..or something else?
