There is no justification for that.. He is trying to help the poor?.. How?..Controlling him?.. He is becoming the sole employer of Venezuela.. All private companies are closing. Since his arrival, 15.000 private companies have closed. When you are the only boss in the country, all the population has to depend on you in order to eat food. So, that´s what I call, a good control method.. It is easy to praise venezuelan revolution when you are not the one who´s is forming lines to obtain bread and food from the government. It is easy to make statements without kwowing the reality and what it feels like to depend on a mad man..in order to eat. Chavez is a Tyrane..

At any rate, oil prices are rising, and the smart money is on an even larger rise in prices over the next couple of years.

No surprises here.

But overall it was well written . I will admit that in the early years I did support President Chavez but his revolution was good when oil was at $150.00 a barrel. Chavez has failed to realize that when your country has a command economy after awhile it gets hard to maintain and eventually it breaks down. The result is increase in political opposition and repressive measures to stay in power. If Chavez is not careful he will go from being a Simon Bolivar to a Robert Mugabe This article did have its good points and bad points. But overall it was well written .
