Today we had a meeting/chat with a Guatemalan businessman, who really wasn´t as corporate as that term makes him sound, but he talked with us about Guatemala´s development (especially the development here in Xela).
So get this -- Guatemala´s main, number one, source of income is from Family Remittances; number two is Tourism. By 1990 100,000 Guatemalans were in the US because of the sky-rocketing unemployment in Guatemala.
The man stated blatantly that "radical change" is needed and that personal development must happen first so that democratic development can occur. But in order to do this, he said that Guatemala must develop a system where the taxes will go back to the people.
