Nice non sequitur argument.
Care to explain how he only cares about financially raping them? I wonder if he would disagree with you.

You sound like the type to clean tables at Burger King half your life and take pride in working hard for a life of debt and green paper
Hahahahaha... yeah ok. I make $60,000+ a day on "auto-pilot" too.
You really have no idea how ridiculous you sound in this thread at all, do you? Go on, keep defending Chavez... it's actually funny.

From my NY Times link:
"power failures that, after six nationwide blackouts in the last two years, are cutting electricity for hours each day in rural areas and in industrial cities like Valencia and Ciudad Guayana. Now, water rationing has been introduced here in the capital."
Have fun building your autopilot business (whatever that is) in Venezuela, hahaha.

Last i checked we too are living under a dictator because our govermernt does not do or ask the people what they want and we get to vote for dog $hit or cammel $hit once in a while.
No argument about our government illegally acting like a Dictator. None at all.
There is hope. The courts finally told Obama no twice. I think people are waking up. Some of them.

Some people are waking up - apparently not you. I think you still think Chavez is some kind of bad guy - the enemy - perhaps you should research it a bit more.
You also think its wrong for him to seize the rigs - while I am making some assumptions - that is, the US oil companies are causing unnecessary delays - charging unwarranted fees - generally messing with the back bone of Venezuela's economy - I have a strong feeling my assumptions would be pretty close to the mark.
Lets just say, they have every MOTIVATION to act like that - it would weaken Chavez and his country, and that is precisely what the controllers of the US want - who also happen to be big on oil .. coincidence? Laughable.

Don't you get it? In this case the Bank is the owner of the Rig. They weren't getting paid for the use of their equipment so they didn't let Venezuela use it. Chavez said to bad for you.... we will take your rigs without paying.
Chavez is like a thief who leases a car but decided to stop paying the lease, but he decides that the car is really useful so he keep the car anyway. No?

Why the "nationwide"? Electricity and water rationing are otherwise normal for you?

The price controls, together with the money inflation, ruin the farmers and sabotage food production. Production is declining continuously. Don't expect to reliably get even basic food like rice, sugar or milk in a government shop nowadays. They are black market goods.

They fear the man. Everyone knows the voting machines are rigged. Google Tascon's list. If you don't vote for Chavez, you never get a job or a contract from a government owned corporation anymore and you get discriminated by every government institution.
