The comments were very revealing.
Struggling countries crave a middle class while BO would do away with ours.
One comment said that there were food shortages because the poor could afford it for the first time. I find that disingenuous, like the “poor” in this country, who have color TVs and cars, but cry about oppression.
After the revolution, the modified constitution should outlaw welfare from the government.
I am not sure how that got into a leftwing publication. Venezuela could become Zimbabwe very fast.
