[Summit] Fwd: citgo

[Bob Trudeau]

More of Citgo's money goes to relatively poor people than is the case  
for any other major petroleum company, which represent a trickle-UP  
economic model, except that it's not a trickle.  Unfortunately, the  
rights of oligarchs to remain or become super-wealthy on the backs of  
other people's labor are often "violated" in places like VEN, to  
protect the poor.  Right now, for example, it's become a little  
harder for them to get to Disney World because of difficult (for  
them) currency requirements in Venezuela -- perhaps they should  
invest in, say, Venezuela???

US media represent the oligarchs, who own them and seek profit,  
so ....  do you think you'll get anything remotely objective about  
Venezuela any time soon?  Andrew's right.
