Whoa, hold on tex. I just asked you a question that you conveniently avoided, let me ask it again, before you go on a liberal rant. Now focus on this question and please answer honestly, I know it will be hard but still try.Why is it we keep hearing the liberals talk about FREE public education, yet the teachers WONT teach for FREE? Why is it that the liberals want US Citizens to pay more in taxes then avoid paying taxes that they champion? At one time, doctors would give pro bono medical to those in need, because those who could pay were happy enough to cover the costs to keep the doctor around. Healthcare was never a right, but a privilege, that people who worked were given healthcare benefits to attract better employees. Now that Obama has taken over the healthcare system everyone is suffering (expect Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi who wrote themselves out of the system) by having to pay more. Now let me show you some examples of what liberalism does.I'm not sure you quite understand the situation as it was in Venezuela. Chavez wasn't just giving out free money, he was EDUCATING PEOPLE, giving them healthcare, instead of allowing oil money to go into rich people's pockets.
I'm not defending Chavez, he messed up big time, I'm not a socialist or a communist at all, however if a country has natural resources in the amounts Venezuela has, why should this money go to a small elite of usually foreign people? Chavez took that money and used it for the benefit of the people, rather than the benefit of a few.
Corruption is a problem, with government, or with private companies the rich etc. Some things don't change. Venezuela was corrupt before Chavez and corrupt after him too.

Are you getting pissy about free education now?
Look, if your views are that people shouldn't be educated if they were unlucky enough to be born into poor families, and you're so unwilling to see the benefits of compulsory education for all, then I guess there's nothing I can do for you. You'll just have to accept that it exists in most countries in the world, and that it's a very good thing.
Why kids shouldn't be born into this world with equal opportunities to make it in this world, I don't know. The right go on about how kids are so innocent, can't have abortions because the fetus is so innocent. But the moment they're born they're judged on how much money their parents have and their life opportunities are defined by how much money their parents have.... seems a little contradictory to me.
So as long as everyone suffers equally, then no one should have more money than the others?you said " Chavez took that money and used it for the benefit of the people, rather than the benefit of a few..."
I asked "Can you show me how that money is being used to benefit the people?"
If you want me to focus on the question, can I suggest you cut the bravado? Too many people on here attack before they do anything else, and it's tiring.
Anyway, I answered that question.
As for equality being people having the same amount of money. No, that's not what I'm talking about. However when it comes to education, kids should all be given the chance to learn and to be able to make their way through life based on their abilities and no on how much money their parents have.
No you didn't answer the question, Today in Venezuela, the money he took from the producers to give to the non producers, how is life in Venezuela? Stop squirreling around with bogus answers because everyone there is miserable, as happens with Socialism all the time. If teachers teach how great socialism is, why don't those teachers work for free? Why do they want more pay raises putting them above the very people they say they are for? Hypocrite.
Yes, Chavez and Maduro have really messed things up. I'm not on here to promote these people. I'm saying what exists, not trying to do make belief. I'm not a socialist or communist. I answered the damn question, you wanted to know the benefits of the money. I showed that, people are more educated and people were getting better health care. That's a simple fact. Another fact is the price of oil dropped and Maduro was messing around with his finger up his ass and didn't deal with the situation.
