Fred Koch developed a new refining process in the 1930’s, but couldn’t get any domestic refiners to use his new method. So, he went to Russia with the new technology. Uncle Joe Stalin nationalized his refineries as soon as they were operational.
Lesson learned. Fred came back and taught his sons to never depend upon the good wishes of any government for any venture. To this day, Koch Industries will not invest in anything where profit is controlled by government (think ethanol).
Surprised that other American companies have forgoten this lesson, especially with a socialist gov. like Venezuela.

7-11 dumped Citgo several years ago. That's probably what I saw happening when the Citgo signs came down.

I think this is more of a situation requiring Ragnar Danneskjold’s skills.

Government critics and many business owners argue the takeovers violate private property rights.
Really.

Thats what I was thinking. Hire an outfit like Blackwater to go in and blow em to smithereens...hopefully with Chevez’s goons on em.
