But his actions also helped us realize a lot of problems with our financial system. I believe in the long run he will prove to be a net positive to the US financial system." <br /><br />That's what you sound like.G Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336081873435545376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-50889111924526535942012-10-07T13:41:48.359-04:002012-10-07T13:41:48.359-04:00I don't know the details of pre-Chavez Venezue...I don't know the details of pre-Chavez Venezuela, but using your comments as a basis, it seems Mr. Chavez has in some ways created a new oligarchy with his own followers in power. While Venezuela is not known for rule of law today, was it in the past? Oligarchies aren't known for strict adherence to legal niceties.<br /><br />In terms of the election, I predict Mr. Chavez will be declared the winner (whether he actually wins may be in question). Regardless of who wins, expect the loser to claim fraud.Thomas Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701283200252131890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-17439574807742420022012-10-07T10:10:24.411-04:002012-10-07T10:10:24.411-04:00I hope you know what you are talking about.

Because what it sounds like is when Chavez falls a different oligarchy shall return, only now it can run a country devoid of rule of law and basic democratic protections.LoneSnarknoreply@blogger.com
