Venezuela Nationalising MORE

Sorry I forgott to mention that I was refering the the specific cases that I've seen in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, where the undervaluing of properties [for tax porposes] is the norm. However, if you add a clausesaying that you are allowed to sell to the gov at the price that they valued your property, then you can get rid of the other extreme as well.
People donât want to hear that though. Rich Americans were having a field day making money in Cuba but once someone shows backbone we go nuts. Hugo in Venezuela would not be making problems if we just let him be to start. Castro would have never been a problem if we reached out to his government. We rejected him first because he wanted farer deals for Cuba.
Wow. Get real. Castro did not have to steal American property in Cuba. If he wanted to raise the minimum wage and increase taxes he could have done so.
dr. craig...have you been to Cuba? Wow, everyone has health care...does that help if it's 3rd world health care and people don't have food to eat?
Cubans daily rations are a joke..no veggies, no fruit. They get coffee, cigarettes, rice, beans, bread, and beer.
Tell me doc, isn't that wonderful? OH yeah, and most of the people there live in squalor and hate Castro!
Wow, you point is lost in the middle of your naivite.
From the Harvard Public Health Review published by the Harvard School of Public Health
"Socio-economic development is typically measured by health indicators such as infant mortality and life expectancy at birth. However, in Cuba, a nation beset by severely limited resources and political tensions both internal and external, these health markers are essentially the same as those in the United States and other parts of the industrialized world. Cuba also boasts the highest rate of public health service in Latin America and has one of the highest physician-to-population ratios in the world. Alone remarkable for a developing country, these feats are even more extraordinary considering the context of a US embargo that's been in effect since 1961."

all assets everywhere should be nationalized.
the people own everything.
prepare for the new world order now.
you have it backwards. the oligarchs are the nwo...... please tell me enron was a good idea?
the only problem with nationalizing the oil fields is this is precisely the reason saddam was attacked and the iranian leadership in the 50's.
the number one fear of any leadership nationalizing their oil fields is the rogue cia coming after them. hell... they even go after fruit companies.... does the term banana mean anything to anyone???
and what really cracks me up is when people blast chavez as socialistic.... too frikin funny. what the hell do people think this country has become??? granted it is more fascist but look at you all... you work from jan to july for the govt and you think you are free??? OY VEY !!!!
