7. On bush

If you must know, I predicted on 2000 that if Bush won, that he would become the worst president this country has ever had, I did not vote for him and would not vote for any Bush, or any neocons for that matter. I feel that the exchange that Bush and Chavez had during those years was just theatrics, nothing else...You see, dictators always need someone for the people to hate, even though they may love in private, but that show that Chavez put against the "Imperio" played well with his followers, but the people with regime are always vacationing here...I am sure you have avoided to find Chavez daughter's picture with Justin Beaver...

You wrote this and I forgot to answer:
"Then you blame the high crime rate on the socialist government because we all know there are no high crime rates in capitalist countries. But the crime rate was high in Venezuela when the rich elites were in control too. But socialism is suppose to cure all evils immediately."

No, high crime was not what it is today, since Chavez took office there have been, as I reported before, 200,000 accounted deaths.

For your information, I grew up in Venezuela, I used to go out with friends to parties, discotheques, etc and be out until 06:00am the next morning, and my parents never worried because Venezuela was a safe place, it stopped being safe when Chavez gave weapons and motorcycles to the "colectivos" and "tupamaros". Your comment that Venezuela was not safe before Chavez is not true, and inmaduro (immature) comment "But socialism is suppose to cure all evils immediately.", you call fifteen years "immediately"? You have to be kidding!!

When you have 200,000 crimes for petty thefts like the one on the link I posted which you obviously did not go to, and petty I mean, a cell phone, a camera, 100 bolivares, a pair of tennis shoes, that was created by Chavez...Fifteen years of rule...and why do you think Maduro is not interested in ending that? Ask yourself that question and try to come up with a good answer.

You really do not know what you are talking about.
