Contribution of Hispanics to Economic Development of Local Area and Country
Is Hispanics presence in Local Area Positive?  If so, how?
     Excellent Manpower, Great Work Ethics
     Tax Revenue to Government
     Increasing Purchasing Power
Are Various Government Levels Giving Back to Hispanics Proportionately?
     What is Elected Officials Doing about the Hispanic Community?
     No proper Representation of Hispanics
     Excluded, Ignored
     Discriminated
Corporate America and Hispanics
     Starting to Recognize Hispanic’s Purchasing Power
     No Corporate Social Responsible to Hispanic Community
USA, Hispanics and Latin America
     Comparison of USA, Jewish-Americans and Israel    <<- -Victor Pinzon proposes it as our Model
Who is responsible?
     The Major Fault of these wasteful condition is Hispanics themselves –not working together
     Polarization and Divisions among Hispanics by country of origin
     Conflicts of many different types
     Glass ceilings, shutting doors by most elected, appointed and hired Hispanics in Government and private sector at top
      levels

Questions to be answered

Can we, Hispanics, be able to overcome these issues and ever get to work together?
Can these conditions be solved?      If not, why not?               
How can we overcome these issues?
