I hate those damn commercials.
Gas is only 20 cents/gal in Venezuela. Chavez promised to use oil profits to help the poor. Yet, the % of poor has gone from 44 to 54% during his tenure. In Venezuela poor is really poor with per capita GNP at about $3,000/yr and our poverty level at $8400. How can anyone argue that the poor people of Venezuela should subsidize the welfare system of Mass and the $400,000 salary of the Kennedy director? Wasn't Robert Kennedy Jr in this racket, too?
