Good Riddance

Criminal Justice International Associates (CJIA), a risk assessment and global analysis firm in Miami, estimated in a recent report that the Chávez Frías family in Venezuela has “amassed a fortune” similar to that of the Castro brothers in Cuba.

According to Jerry Brewer, president of CJIA, “the personal fortune of the Castro brothers has been estimated at a combined value of around $2 billion.”

“The Chávez Frías family in Venezuela has amassed a fortune of a similar scale since the arrival of Chávez to the presidency in 1999,” said Brewer in an analysis published in their website.

Brewer said that Cuba is receiving about $5 billion per year from the Venezuelan treasury and in oil shipments and other resources.

“We believe that organized bolivarian criminal groups within the Chávez administration have subtracted around $100 billion out of the nearly $1 trillion in oil income made by PDVSA since 1999.”

Chavez was like most communists - a liar, a thug, a fraud, a thief, and never lived under the boot of tyranny he forced on others.

Same as Castro, same as Obama, same as Lenin and Stalin, etc.

This ought to be a lesson to the idiots who still push socialist ideals. So much for corruption and greed not existing in socialism and communism.

I thought it was quite well known that socialism is all about equality except for the highest persons in the land.

You are right.

But, many here think that socialism and communism are utopias and the cures for greed, corruption, poverty, injustice and inequality.

So much for that.
