Can we hope that Latin American citizens see that Chavez is totally out to lunch.?

won't happen anytime soon. Leftist leaders like chavez and most democrats in the USA thrive on giving handouts to people who are living in a state of total economic ignorance. meaning they don't know, understand, or have been taught how economics and business actually works. Chavez is where he's at becuase his country is sitting on a bunch of oil. It's one of the richest nations in the western hemisphere, but most of it's people live in squalor.he can throw handouts to the people and they respond.
