You can live here in the USA and be a wage-slave with zero rights and pay outrageous sums for everything, especially healthcare. You can witness the loss of freedoms month after month, you can pay the highest percentage of taxes and fees while the wealthy get what amounts to a free ride. Good luck.

I'll toil under the yolk of the "terrible" Hugo Chavez and help set up clinics to improve the Universal Health Care in Venezuela, build farmer's markets and help local growers sell their crops, and generally enjoy life as one among a free people.
