enemies out for the Chinese.
Build bridges not walls
He said it was U.S. President Ronald Reagan who delivered his famed
speech to tear down the Berlin Wall. Instead of a wall, Fox stressed the
need to build bridges between the United States, Mexico and Canada,
noting that world leaders would do better to rely on their faith and spiritual
guidance than political polls.
Providing many insights to the Mexican situation and his worldview,
Fox urged the audience to go back to the basics of the American dream.
In his recent book, “Revolution of Hope: The Life, Faith, and Dreams of a
Mexican President,” Fox’s American dream is not limited to the borders
of the United States but spans the entire North American continent.
He said we all want to build a better future for our families. Mexico has
done well through NAFTA and has reduced its foreign debt to $40 billion
from $80 billion. But, Fox’s dream is to see a North American Union
evolve to compete with emerging giants, such as China—a necessary
move that would produce a global, free market economy to create wealth
and overcome poverty.
President Fox is sometimes portrayed as a social and political radical
who openly exposes his country’s history of corruption, indifference and
conformity. Although many may not agree with all of his politics, his
efforts to institute a new culture of responsibility, entrepreneurial spirit,
innovation and hard work can be traced to lessons he learned early in life
milking 250 cows each day on his grandfather’s farm. His leadership has
received mixed success, but has a changed the economic structure and
social fabric of Mexico.

IT Service Company, San Jose
Consistent Income!
Small IT service company located in San Jose. Founded in
2000. Consistently generates gross income between $50-$75K
a year. Dozens of ongoing customers and over 150 customers
who call periodically. Most customers located in San Jose. Very
nice clientele that pay well and pay reliably.
I’m selling the company to move on to a corporate position
that will give me new challenges, but will absorb all my time.
I’ve generated a lot of goodwill since starting the IT company.
After sending out a transition letter and personally introducing
you to my ongoing clients, you should have no trouble
retaining all of them.
The company comes with an opportunity for free newspaper
advertising throughout San Jose (in exchange for IT services).
This is an excellent part of the deal. In addition, a small inventory
of quality computer and network parts (routers, DSL
modems, KVM switches, accessory cards, cables, etc.) comes
with the purchase.
Asking $50,000. Please contact me for full details about the
company, my services, and my clients. This is an excellent
opportunity that can easily earn you much more than what I've
been earning, and WAY more than my asking price.
