The Chavez Corporate-Sponsored Propaganda Doesn't Want You To See

Terrorist? Dictator? If you think so, sorry, but you've been royally duped. Get a clue, please:

How'd You Like To Live In A Free Country With A Leader And Government Working For The People

The great majority of the Venezuelan people would and here's why. Any idea what it's like to be impoverished, not know where your next meal is coming from, live in a shack for a home or not even have that much, and have no access to even minimum medical care or education? These people do. Ask them, they'll explain it to you. Hugo Chavez has given them what they never had before. Think they won't fight to keep it and him? Wouldn't you in their place if the alternative was desperate poverty? That's what 80% of them had before, they're still poor and deprived, but everyone gets free first rate health and dental care and education through as high a level as they can attain. They also get subsidized food, the legal right they never had before to own the land their homes were built on and lots more. The result is a significant improvement in the lives and welfare of the Venezuelan poor that comprise the great majority of the population and Chavez's base of support. The population is healthier, no one need go hungry, and illiteracy in the country is almost nil. In the US it's around 20%, and millions more can barely read and write at a grammar school level.

Also in the US, our land of opportunity and richest country in the world, we have 46 million people with no health insurance, many millions more with too little and by conservative estimates 12 million American families, over 10% of all households, struggle to feed themselves and often go hungry. They can't afford the high price of insurance that keeps becoming more unaffordable or even to buy enough food for their families. They should be getting federal aid, but how can they when our government spends all it has and can borrow on imperial wars of conquest without end to enrich big corporations. The cupboard is bare for anything else, so we're all on our own, like it or not. If the country had a motto or slogan it might be you can have anything you want as long as you can pay for it. If not, you're on your own. It's called "the free market." Ask one of the millions of poor, single black mothers with young children how "free" it is and what it's like trying to figure out how to get the next meal on the table and pay the rent. She could only dream of the way things are in the land of the Bolivarian Revolution and a leader who really cares about all his people - if she knew about it.

Jeez! No wonder Mini-Bush and the gang sponsored a coup attempt on him in 2002! He gives them non-psychopaths what they want! The nerve! Proles aren't supposed to like their superiors. Leaders must have no compassion and keep their subjects in abject poverty, unable to read any more than the slick propaganda provided for them! When will Chavez learn to ride with the big boys and be a spineless psychopath?!

Hopefully never. He'll probably be assassinated before he gets the chance...
