Who is the richest person in Venezuela?


A right wing, fake news story, floated by Fox News based on El Diario De Los Americas which publishes out of Miami and promised details from two other Spanish language newspapers which NEVER MATERIALIZED. So now, every right wing piece of shit internet web site can claim a "truth" based on fake news from Fox (Hey, honey, let me rub your belly) News. Great sources all full of gas.

Everything I've read says the same thing, no matter the politics of the source. It mentions a few of Chavez's ministers turning up as billionaires also.

Oh look who showed up. How are you spanky. It's the racist that likes to believe he knows what he's talking about...but unfortunately doesn't know just how ignint he is.

Well let's see spanky. Let them eat cake was a monarchy, but you wouldn't understand that. If you look around and see which countries actually eat well, go to the doctor, live long and prosper, that will be your free market countries. I don't expect you to understand that spanky.


dumb as a post are ya..... evidently u didn't understand the actual question. hit a little close to home did it?

thanks for not answering the actual question, but that's normal for u. poster boi.

Next.


Oh wait....you think that you ask questions and I line up to answer them...hahahahahahahahahahahah


oh hell no, not u.... that would be an indication of intelligence and management skills beyond a single cell amoeba. That would mean ur brains are in ur head, not anywhere boss-hoe can lick them and get jazzed....LOL!

nope... not an expectation of urs - u can breath easier now.
come on boss-hoe, save ur boi from being the only one who cant answer a question. he's just 1 more brain cell loss away from owning 30 cats, and ur the litter box.


Spanky, you've said all of the above before. It didn't make you look smart the first or second time. It still doesn't. Did you want to actually discuss being an affirmative action hire from the ghetto or does your racist hate not allow you to be thankful for getting out...well physically getting out, your mentality is still there. You can actually tell your story here on a thread about leftist fundamentalism and tell people what it's like to rise above your expectations to become a draftsman.


Who needs to be smart around u?? How would u know?

now I know u took an I.Q. test and the results were negative, but u really should look into getting some class..... er, I mean, management classes. Since u don't seem to like My opinion of u - improve urself so there can be some honest dialog here.

not that I expect u to be honest.


Oh spanky...nice try at new material. It would probably sound better in English.


Well see... he doesn't know!! and he cant answer questions ether way!! And doesn't know English ether, even his own pigin.

it must be so hard for u to come here and have a lowly student call u out on ur own business mistakes and u have no answer.....

all u have is a tired old racial slur that u haven't figured out only points out how pathetic ur business Management acumen is because the slur begs the questions ur too embarrassed to answer.

Come on man,..... ur an embarrassment to urself. If brains were rain, you'd be the Atacama Desert.


Spanky, the sky is blue. Too bad you're too dumb to know that. Someone should have helped you remember your colors. How pathetic is it that you don't know colors...and can't speak English.


so u painted the inside of ur colon blue?? Because since ur heads deeply up ur ass that's the only way ur sky could be like the rest of us.

otherwise ur kind of stupid knows no color. So even when u look in the mirror and still see stupid, how do u know?

I told u that plain sugar is affecting ur brain but u still keep ranting on..... Those Cookies & DNC donuts are waiting on u....

Come on man,..... ur an embarrassment to urself.

ur most hated leftist points out ur business acumen sucks Chinese Billionaire style, and that's the best u got?

......colon color management??





Cant speak English and don't know your colors. My you're an embarrassment to affirmative action.

Yeah, I went through the Google list before I wrote my answer and it was clear that they were one right wing web site supporting another biased site supporting yet another biased site. A right wing echo chamber, N. All inferences and estimates with no bank records or transactions. A classical political smear job.

so many took civilization for granted without realizing that it was birthed and maintained at the point of a sword. someone needed to hold the sword and even, on occasion, swing it in order to help stave off chaos.


Sorta proves my point and the right has taken over the sword, forcibly put it in the hands of the poor (and left) that need to eat, to do there bidding.

Now it's just called patriotism or for any who disagree...a traitor.

Venezuela has been living dying under socialism for years and years. Blaming their predicament on capitalism is literally insane on your part



Well the capitalist endorses and sanctions larger profits from speculation than from actual production and that being the price mechanism for ALL commodities, became the premise for Venz. oil driven downfall.

The capitalist speculation-driven market, NOT a free market in commodities, is always the harbinger of hard times for the consumer.

Socialism? Show me a Democratic Socialist country and I'll show you one of the nine most prosperous countries in the world - all ahead of some right wing mediocrity called the United States. That according to Business Insider's rankings.

http://www.businessinsider.com/the-30-most-prosperous-countries-in-the-world-2014-11

Say "socialist" to an American wingnut and what passes for their brain just shuts right down. In reality there are lots of ways of implementing it. Europe has pretty near perfected it, but sadly too many Americans are too brainwashed to notice that there's a better way to live.

posted this two years ago, worth posting again:

http://www.economicfreedom.org/about/what-is-economic-freedom/

http://www.economicfreedom.org/2014/12/02/economic-freedom-of-north-america-2014/

"Economic freedom is the key to greater opportunity and an improved quality of life. It’s the freedom to choose how to produce, sell, and use your own resources, while respecting others’ rights to do the same. While a simple concept, economic freedom is an engine that drives prosperity in the world and is the difference between why some societies thrive while others do not."

you will see that the states, or countries, with the most economic freedom are the most prosperous.

(the links are from the original post, so they are old, and hopefully will get you in the ballpark still)

Yeah. What a shocker, eh? The foundation run by the extreme libertarian oil billionaire who has bankrolled deregulation-oriented Republicans into office to allow him to make even more money, finds that deregulation is the way to utopian society.

It's not. It's a way to ruin the only planet we all have to live on. But that doesn't bother him. He'll be dead before the worst of it hits. Fuck the rest of you.

America is the land of the free—but how free is it? The 2015 Economic Freedom of the World (EFW) Index downgrades the United States to 16th of the 157 countries surveyed for five major indicators of freedom, such as size of government, freedom to trade internationally, and regulation. This ranking is a steep decline from 2000, when the United States was second only to Hong Kong in the world rankings and had high scores in areas that create opportunity for all Americans. Today, even Canada and the United Kingdom outrank the United States.

The EFW is compiled annually by the Fraser Institute and American authors James Gwartney, Robert Lawson, and Joshua Hall, in coordination with dozens of economic research institutions around the world. The EFW’s key ingredients for economic freedom are personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to compete, and protection of persons and property. Nations with the most economic freedom have more prosperity, higher incomes (for rich and poor), longer life expectancies, better health, and more robust political and civil rights.

Since 2000, several government policies have led to a significant decline in the economic freedom of the United States. Expansion of military activity, federal spending, bank and auto bailouts, fewer private property protections, more cronyism, restrictive financial and trade policies, and administrative strangleholds on small businesses all contributed to major setbacks in each of the five areas measured by the Index.

Here's the website for the index itself, published by the Heritage Foundation.

http://www.heritage.org/index/

I couldn't find any info on how Heritage defines its metrics. For instance, "Government Spending" is one yardstick. Does that mean all government spending is necessarily a drain on freedom? How does one factor in, say, public works (which provide employment and improve infrastructure) and Social Security (which may make folks less theoretically free but probably boosts the actual, real-world economic freedom of millions). Or military bases?

"About The Index"

quote:

For much of human history, most individuals have lacked economic freedom and opportunity, condemning them to poverty and deprivation.

Today, we live in the most prosperous time in human history. Poverty, sicknesses, and ignorance are receding throughout the world, due in large part to the advance of economic freedom. In 2017, the principles of economic freedom that have fueled this monumental progress are once again measured in the Index of Economic Freedom, an annual guide published by The Heritage Foundation, Washington's No. 1 think tank.

For over twenty years the Index has delivered thoughtful analysis in a clear, friendly, and straight-forward format. With new resources for users and a website tailored for research and education, the Index of Economic Freedom is poised to help readers track over two decades of the advancement in economic freedom, prosperity, and opportunity and promote these ideas in their homes, schools, and communities.

The Index covers 12 freedoms – from property rights to financial freedom – in 186 countries...

Q.2. What are the benefits of economic freedom?

Economic freedom brings greater prosperity. The Index of Economic Freedom documents the positive relationship between economic freedom and a variety of positive social and economic goals. The ideals of economic freedom are strongly associated with healthier societies, cleaner environments, greater per capita wealth, human development, democracy, and poverty elimination...

Q.3. How do you measure economic freedom?

We measure economic freedom based on 12 quantitative and qualitative factors, grouped into four broad categories, or pillars, of economic freedom:
1.Rule of Law (property rights, government integrity, judicial effectiveness)
2.Government Size (government spending, tax burden, fiscal health)
3.Regulatory Efficiency (business freedom, labor freedom, monetary freedom)
4.Open Markets (trade freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom)...

Each of the twelve economic freedoms within these categories is graded on a scale of 0 to 100. A country’s overall score is derived by averaging these twelve economic freedoms, with equal weight being given to each. More information on the grading and methodology can be found in the appendix.

Q.6. Can I access the data online?

Your source is the Koch brothers?



yeah...no bias there.


What a freak you are. All you ever post is far left hysteria columns fromt eh WP or Huffpo or even worse whacked nutjob propaganda sites


yeah---but he's here to "discuss politics with people from differing views."


hey---try dealing with the content??


How about you? Information on the most successful countries has already been posted, and this, from Koch, is your response, with no refutation of the other data.

So what makes Koch right and everyone else wrong?

Since you're all about the different views.

Alternative facts aren't different views. They're lies.

"About The Index"

I looked at that for quite a while but found no info on how Heritage defines and applies its yardsticks.
