Reply #19: "We" don't have plenty of Oil. [View All]

[bvar22]

"Our" oil belongs to the Global Corporations and Wall Street speculators.

If you're really nice to them,
they may sell you some at an enormous profit.

OTOH, The Venezuelans actually own a percentage of their oil,
and have diverted a percentage of those profits to:
*Heal the Sick

*Feed the Hungry

*Educate the Ignorant

*House the Homeless

I can understand why so many Americans HATE Chavez and the Populist Reforms sweeping across Latin America.
Something like THAT could catch on.

"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales

FDR said much the same thing in 1944 with his Economic Bill of Rights,
but THAT "Democratic Party" no longer exists.

VIVA Democracy!
I hope we get some here soon!



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

Solidarity!
