Sorry I missed worded that. What I meant to say is look at the cost of living compared to people’s income. I lot people make $150-300 per months “This is word of month” I understand if you don’t respect my source. I couldn’t find a average salary on line but this is what my family says. Some are very well educated and some are not as fortunate.
2-0-Sixx-Yes, Venezuela is still a poor country but the standard of living has risen dramatically since Hugo Chavez. There is no denying this.

Today only 20% of Venezuelan oil money goes to the state. 80% disappears.
In 1974 it was the reverse. 80% went to the state. Why the coup-plotters are in such a hurry. Stop the coup-"strike"!
2-0-Sixx-Yes, a great period of time when rich white people owned the majority of wealth and the land and were getting richer while the poor got poorer. Oh the good old days!
Much hasn’t changed since
2-0-Sixx-Well, the people keep electing him so that must mean something.
Some will beg to differ. Anybody that voted tried to vote against him during the second election would tell you some crazy things. A lot of people didn’t get the chance to vote because they were arrested while they were waiting in line to vote my uncle included. The reason people were arrest was for wearing the color yellow. Which at the time people who wore red where “Chavezistas” people who were in support of him and those with yellow were against him. He also renamed the “Country Republica Bolivariana” de Venezuela” but the world still calls it Venezuela and rewrote the constitution.
2-0-Sixx-When a tiny percentage of people owned the majority of land while many are homeless, who is the thief? Who is the thief when mostly white-europeans own the majority of the land? Who is the thief when corporations own miles and miles of land and are not using it, while people are living in shack huts?
Taking from the rich and giving from the poor is not steeling, no it is the rich that stole the land in the first place the people are simply taking it back.
You would be surprised to see how many non European Venezuelans lands got stolen.
2-0-Sixx-Propaganda.

2-0-Sixx-You are either down right leing or you're seriously misinformed. The majority of TV stations are PRIVATELY owned and oppose Chavez.
June 14 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he may shut down television stations for criticizing the government and broadcasting ``messages of hate.''
Chavez said the government has begun to review all television concessions, which expire in 2007. Chavez did not specify which stations may be shut down.
``We can't keep giving concessions to a group of people who use television stations against us,'' Chavez said in a televised speech in Caracas. ``Every day they broadcast messages of hate, of disrespect toward institutions, of doubt among us, rumors, psychological war to divide the nation.''
Chavez, 51, said some television stations helped plot a two-day coup he survived in 2002. The former army lieutenant colonel, who led a failed coup in 1992, is seeking a second six- year term in office in the December elections.
``They hide behind a supposed freedom of speech,'' said Chavez, who was wearing a green army uniform and red beret. ``I don't care what the oligarchs of the world say. We've shown that we aren't authoritarian or arbitrary.''

Venezuela’s main TV stations were owned by powerful billionaire businessmen such as Gustavo Cisneros. The Cisneros Group includes Univisión Communications and Venevisión. Cisneros, whose net worth in 2003 was estimated at $4 billion, personally sits on the board of Univisión. The media magnate counts among his friends former U.S. President George H.W. Bush. What is more, according to Venezuelan human rights lawyer Eva Golinger, the links between the U.S. government and Venezuelan media go far beyond mere personal friendships. She explained that the U.S. government-funded National Endowment for Democracy and US AID have provided several millions of dollars to private media outlets in Venezuela to help finance their anti-Chávez campaign.
