"The main opportunities for capital accumulation are reserved for a narrow group of powerful citizens. Those citizens have privileged access to policy makers and political players and true violence potential they can call upon when needed. In sharp contrast, the vast majority of Mexican citizens enjoy few opportunities to build assets and engage in productive investments. Furthermore, citizens are often disempowered from influencing the political processes. The lack of access to opportunity and disempowerment of the masses has sometimes led to expressions of violence." 234
