That's pretty much the definition of a third-world country, unfortunately: a small priveleged class that owns nearly everything and a large, impoverished worker class that owns almost nothing. Whatever form of government you wish to place on top of it is window-dressing for the economic reality.

And yes, I've visited El Paso, and Juarez.
