Chavez is a Negroid idiot!! he knows nothing about anything!    don't get confused the only reason he's anti-america and anti-bush it's because he perceives them as the evil white colonialist that caused all the pain of the worthless Negro.    he's anti-Israel and pro-Iran because he perceives Israel is a friend of USA and Iran is anti-usa, so you do the math....    his economic policies are based on hate to the white diaspora in Venezuela, most of the whites and people he perceives as whites are indeed in commerce and related businesses, no wonder that very white diaspora where the ones that made Venezuela the little different it is from Africa now...    Guess what are his nationalist policies?  * Pay the mestizo thrash to study: yes you read right he pays them monthly so they go to the misiones to get a patetic excuse for an education...  Not to mention that education was already free in Venezuela, you can go through a whole engineering career paying semestral registration fees of $2, that makes like $20 for the whole career plus a graduation fee of about $100 we could round it up to $150 for the whole career!! if you don't get an University degree in Venezuela is not for lack of economic resources is because you're too dumb!  * Pay the hood mothers: he pays the patetic mestizas conejas (rabbits) that the only thing they do in their life is f*ck and get pregnant, they get paid for that!! not only that he created a bigger burden on the private (guess what? mostly white diaspora owned) sectors by forcing them to keep such pregnant scumbags as employees and give them 9 months of pre + post natal vacations, paid by the unlucky private sectors that hired them!  * He's nationalizing everything: clinics, schools, food chain, that means that he's going to put all the private services (that were the only ones that actually worked in the damn country) at the same level of the crappy public services... so everybody is Equal  * Salaries: with all the social programs crap, he's making an unskilled blue collar idiotic mestizo earn a salary equal or even bigger to the one of a highly trained professional like engineers, doctors, etc... (guess what most of the people that are able to got through the education system and become a highly trained professional is part of or has a lot of the white diaspora in them, coincidence?...)    Should I continue?? :rolleyes:
