Historically this has been the case.

What's the point here?

There are tons of socialist styled nations on this Earth...most have wealthy people living in them. The fact that Chavez has money or is rich is some sort of anomaly?

His daughter is posing with some cash (i can't really see the denominations all that well)....big deal.

Obviously i read the article. Again, Venezuela has a hell of a lot of wealthy people. She has hard to obtain dollars...big deal. I'm pretty sure that every wealthy family in Venezuela can get their hands on a bunch of dollars because that's what wealthy people do.

And why would i say that i "won't read Fox stuff?" Where in the hell did you get that from?

Then you should have realized that the Socialists have what the people don't. That is the theme of the thread.

Again sir...several socialist nations have millionaires and even billionaires. Why should Venezuela be any different?

So, the top 1% of the USA has what the bottom 99% don't...

Is there any news here?

Oh, yeah, I suppose by those standards the very wealthy in this country must be Socialists..!
