[Max E.]

Very interesting piece from a person who came from a third world communist shithole and made himself very rich in america. The first 2 minutes are pricesless. Ozzie Guillen deserves an award fo telling it like it is. This video is incredible.

Venezuela...

UN R/P 10% = 18.8
UN R/P 20% = 16
UN Gini = 49.5
CIA R/P 10% = 50.3 (2003)
CIA Gini = 41 (2009)

Looks like a typical former colony, capitalist shithole to me.

Edit: I doubt the CIA R/P 10% figure.

Chile is kicking the shit out of all of South America, and there is an even greater discrepancy when comparing Chile to Venzuela, or Cuba, so in venezuela there is less of a discrepancy between rich and poor but everyone is poor...... sounds like the perfectt example of a socialist paradise to me.

Chile, amazing history. What a battle they've had to get colonialism and its effects off their back. But you are right, quite unequal.

No time to dig up the inequality/social indicator charts right now, but they could be interesting.
