When you take from the wealthy to give to the poor that's simple populism, and it simply does not work, most people earn their wealth with hard work...

Unless the population has viable skills to produce things that the marketplace wants, it doesn't matter how hard people will be willing to work.  The reality is that they aren't going to be able to get paid.

Venezuela is a country with many natural resources and a great potential, also a lot of its population is well prepared, but the curse of oil has blinded us and government corruption increases every year. The government wants to control everything so private companies that generate jobs and wealth can't invest or be created in here...

Many of you like to defend Chavez but it's really easy to defend a president when you don't live under his rule...
