    “because Macri belongs to one of the wealthiest families in Argentina. Italian immigrants they worked their way up and have interests in manufacturing, real estate, services and finance.”

    So, Macri's family started with nothing and worked hard to achieve their wealth as opposed to the Kirchners who stole their wealth.

    “This is so because Macri belongs to one of the wealthiest families in Argentina.”

    So no need to steal money from the people of Argentina.

    Less chance of corruption.

    The inference is that Scioli is not wealthy...and yet have you seen the size of his house? How did he pay for that?
