Amen. Everything looks good for a while as benevolent dictators start to help the poor. But, eventually everything turns out like the peronistas and the welfare state buckles under the weight of its own obligations. The goal is to find a balance between a safety net and a free market system that promotes business growth -- Chavez ain't the devil some make him out to be, but he sure ain't a saviour either. Now if the U.S. would stop bullying which gives idots like Chavez a voice....

Promoting business growth, like California these days?

I work for a bank that refuses to go into California because its government regulation is far too restrictive. It costs too much money to do business in California unless you are already there.

I wonder why most of the Caribbean nations do not consider Chavez an idiot?

The same reason the Mass. legislative delegation doesn't -- he's giving away free stuff. I'd keep my mouth shut too! Always follow the money.

SIN,
Maybe you can call your good buddy Chavez and ask him to sell his oil cheaply to Belize....I was just there and its $5 per gallon! Better yet call Exxon in Houston and cut a deal...it's only $2.25 there!! Hey Fidel! Got any oil for cheap? Maybe you can get the Belizean government to relax the taxes on oil for awhile so the working class can get a leg up!!!!!OOOPS....another utopian dream.

Gee clover, what a great idea...wonder why nobody thought of that before??

Part II....Gee Chavez sure impressed the elites in Belize with all that cheap oil...........it was still $5 a gallon at the pump for the working class.
