    If Latin America can create a democratic union that supports business and a strong economy this will cause a chain reaction and help stimulate other areas of interest. With the decreased strength and influence of organized crime along with a decrease in government corruption we will begin to see local and foreign businesses within Latin America succeed. This in turn leads to many things; an increase in exports, domestic wealth, increased tax revenue and an increase in GDP. With the increase in domestic wealth we will see more consumption and the economy will flourish. With increased tax revenue comes a better education system, support for the lower economic status citizens, better health systems, better roads, and many other services.
