If, however, you look at EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY the US has been involved in, panama, el salvador, columbia, anywhere where we push our free market, any where we support some petty dictator or military regime, you see a country stuck in the third world, where there is a vast gap between the rich minority and the poor destitute majority, and you see MASSIVE human rights abuses.

Right now, the gas price in Venezuela is $0.14 a gallon. That's right... FOURTEEN CENTS PER GALLON.
The rest of the world pays more.

Hugo is living the good life, the life of a king. He travels around the world like a super star, throwing money around as if it grew on trees. He has more money than Midas, and everything he touches turns to gold, for him and his cronies that is.
But wait. Poverty in Venezuela has increased since he took over his country. People are running out of food and the bare necessities and the world is not hearing about these atrocities because Hugo Chaves owns the media in his country.
Well, the people did vote for him, he did tell them that he would control their lives; they knew who his friends were, Fidel Castro being his biggest buddy. They saw what Fidel did to his people; Castro turned a prosperous country into total and complete poverty overnight with his revolution to rid the country of those capitalist pigs.
Those capitalist pigs went elsewhere and created prosperity for others, and left the Cubans to live less than pigs.
That’s what you get when you vote into office a big brother or sister to take care of all your needs and problems, you get the big shaft.
Access to free primary health care and dentistry – through the programme known as Barrio Adentro (Inside the Barrio) – is one of the most important improvements the residents here say they have experienced under President Chavez.
Most of the doctors and dentists here are Cubans who have moved to the barrio as part of a deal under which Cuba receives cheap oil.

Yes they have cheap gasoline. It's not their fault that you do not have that. Oil is not infinite. Soon you will hit the limits of capitalism, then you will wish to "cooperate" with others.
If Chavez choses he could sell oil at 1000$ a barrel. What will you do go kill him ? I thought you were a capitalist you respect other people's property don't you ? Or only when it's convenient ?
