If all you have is an opinion, it's not worth much. Put an attitude with it and you haven't gained anything, at all. You might look up banana republic to see the disadvantages of economies based on one thing. Check out the curse of petro dollars and see how out of step you are. Then you might explain why someone who believes in central planning is doing in a conservative group?
This is a forum and as you say maybe my opinion isnt worth much. Sorry you dont feel I have a right to be here..
Is it really so wrong that I feel Chavez should stop buying weapons and try to help his people?
The curse of Petro dollars seems to me to be in who gets to decide how to spend them, Kuwait seems to be doing ok by helping its citizens and not wasting it all on weapons.
I really didnt know I was for central planning. I am not, I am for people getting the opportunity to earn themselves a livlihood and I am for spending the Petro dollars to help people in that endeavor. If you properly spend that money the economy wont be based on one thing, . It will be diversified . If you waste money buying weapons to give to insurgents in other countries and seeking to develop a dictatorial power with Cuba and spread Socialism and a dictatorship throughout South America as I believe Chavez is doing you sure arent helping Venezuela. Now if that isnt Conservative thinking dont know what is. Nor do
I care , As Popeye said I am what I am and if that doesnt suit you , you can shove off mate.
Attitude ?/ you must mean your own, I dont have one. I speak my piece and go about my business.
I think everyones opinion is worth something, although i cant see how yours is very helpful , but if you think Chavez is wise to throw away money on weapons while his impoverished people suffer thats fine with me.
You are right it isnt easy to establish an economy but the price of 100,000 AK47 rifles is a start. That and whatever else he is throwing away on weapons.
