They are spotless in all this. Its all Chavez and Maduro's fault! No way that a moneyed class would ever stoop to covertly destabilizing a socialist government that nationalized the oil industry. They just sat by and let it happen without any push back at all. Like they always do. I feel sorry for them myself. I wish just once those poor billionaires would fight back. Oh well. They didn't have to do anything because miraculously, the economy collapsed because those damn elected dictators spent too much on education and heath care when they should have accepted their places in the world order and continued catering to the multinationalists demands on their own country. Stupid nutjobs.
