4. I don't think you know what you are talking about.

Do some fact checking because you need to get informed before you criticize the facts (facts) that I am presenting. No, the lack of food. medicine, services, etc. are not a conspiracy from the uber-rich, and if you bother to take the time you will find that the uber-rich is composed of the chavista regime, many entrepreneurs who built their companies from scratch have been disposed of their businesses by the regime, that is how they have managed to make their money.

Take a trip to Venezuela, and see for yourself, or at least do some research.

Did you take the time to go to the link I provided? If you didn't then do so, and do your research. Can you tell me why the protests started?

There is a difference to going to Venezuela while being sponsored by the regime, and another to go on your own and see the reality. How do you explain the fact that all media has been banned from Venezuela, all reporters, and the only ones allowed to do any reporting are those connected to the regime? I have to believe that Mr. Lovato has some connection with the regime and he saw what they wanted him to see. He talks about a minority that go to the marches, have you taken the time to look at the pictures? You obviously have not. If you take a trip to Cuba you will see a different place that the one the people who live there, it is all catered to the foreign visitors.

Yes, I do trash Chavez, he had the opportunity to make something beautiful out of Venezuela, he could have been the second Simon Bolivar (do you know who Simon Bolivar was?), but he missed the opportunity. He did inherit a country that was corrupt and had been the victim of bad governments, but he made it worst, he was just a puppet of the Cuban regime, as is Maduro. The only defense I can make of Chavez is that, by the end he seemed to have change somewhat and wanted to start doing good, but the Cuban regime would not have it, and his mistake was going to Cuba for "cures".

Do you live in Venezuela? Do you know what you are talking about? I don't live there anymore, but I have friends and family, and they are not uber-rich, you really don't know what you are talking about.

You claim that all my talking points are those of Fox News, on the contrary, all the rhetoric and manipulation from the chavista regime approximates more that of the republicans and fox news than anything I have said, you have your understandings of both switched.
