Actually you're closer to correct. Radiocarbon dating is only accurate to 50,000 years or so. There are quite a few other methods, however, that are accurate for much longer periods of time.
False.
There is a point of taxation where decreasing the tax rate does increase tax revenue due to greatly increased economic activity but we are nowhere near that point. That point lies at a very high rate of taxation.
Corruption is definitely part of it. For its income group, Mexico's corruption looks to be higher than average.
The various land reforms they did weren't helpful since most of it went to political cronies so the average Mexican ended up with very little.

I'm not so sure it works quite like that. I'm pretty sure you have to give away a certain percentage of what you take in to be considered a charitable organization. Even then, the board members would get salaries to run the foundation, not one lump sum.

I remember a movie a while back that I rented because it had quite a few pretty good stars in it. It had Salma Hayek, John Malkovich, David Schwimmer, Burt Reynolds and a few lesser known people. The movie is called Hotel and god what an awful pile of shit that was. I turned it off about 20...
Well maybe we should seek to keep the ones who come here to study instead of just giving them student visas and then them taking their quality American education and bringing it back home to teach others.
Take her to different religious institutions and let her meet kids whose parents believe in different religions. Assuming you aren't introducing her to complete brats, she may realize that people of different religions ain't so bad.
That bottom line still provides a steady income to the people of areas where subsistence farming was previously the main source of jobs.
