RE: Reality of living in my country
Over throw the shit government. My parents stopped on cruise in Caracas in the 70s and said it was beautiful safe and prosperous. I can't believe what happened there, you have enough oil for the whole country to be first world.
There is only an answer for that, COMMUNISM, STATISM, DICTATORSHIP!
This was an incredible country , that's true, in spite we've been always a little bit messy, there was enough resources for making rich every citizen of this nation, actually, it stills been that way, but corruption is a huge problem here.
The problem is twofold, not only do elements of the local government try to enrich themselves, but also the west and especially the US has tried to punish the entire nation for refusing "foreign investment", which would just entail global corporations sucking up all the resources and still leaving the people with very little of the profits.
