Good Information !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having OIL is not a blessing but a damnation. Venezuela is sunk in a SANTA CLAUS economy.... Millions of People do not pay the utility bills, electriciy, gas, water, phones, etc .... Millions of people do not pay any taxes. Those bills that they do not pay are ridiculously low. One tenfth of what you have to pay in any other Latin country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thousands of incompetent ignorants get loans for the most absurd projects and they never repay the Venezuelan Government. I know the stories in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nationalization of major industries, huge arms purchases from Russia, Russian Warships in Harbors, money for leftists in Latin America. Poverty everywhere in Venezuela, soaring crime rates, empty store shelves and accelerating inflation while oil plummets.&lt;/p&gt;
