The poor finally saw hope ......... the rich saw their dreams of control and total ownership slipping away. It's the same reasons oligarchs and corporations who've relied on the slavery, illiteracy and poverty of the workers who've built them up are becoming more angry by the day. This time, evil won't triumph. Chavez educated those poor too well. They will never accept the right-wing evil they once lived through again.
