But despite the propaganda gobiernera, the reality is this: Eight out of ten Venezuelans are in favor of owning and not to be expropriated! And if you think about it in this compelling data come to conclusions very different from the official ideological bias. Let's see what has become Catia Industrial Zone, where (among other companies) were the factories that made millions of shoes, good shoes that were sold Venezuela in Latin America and the world? What has become The Industrial Zone Yaguara where, among other companies were some of the major spinning and weaving of this continent? What happened, for the love of God, Industrial Zone Guarenas-Guatire? All those "Industrial Zones" were transformed into industrial graveyards. The sheds that were once factories are now deserts, are dens of criminals or homeless shelters . What happened to the jobs, the jobs that these industries generated? Well, simply disappeared. To understand this should not be an economist or sociologist. Enough to have eyes, and memory ...
But the statistics that economists and sociologists handle match what you see and feel in the neighborhood: A third of companies that existed in Venezuela in 1998, not today there. Closed, went bankrupt or left the country. It is as difficult to open a business and producing in a country where the government goes around talking straw employers, threatening or expropriated. Like any other human activity, there are good employers and bad employers and some politicians, cobblers or chicheros good and bad.

We stayed here and did not close because we Venezuelans and bet on the country, but the truth is that every day is more difficult ... "

And to experience the vast majority choose to work, rather than resign himself to being a kept in a "social program" of government. That is why Venezuela's barrios have become major centers of economic activity. no longer just about the house where they sell ice creams, or the lady who hit zippers and buttons ...
For those living and struggling in the neighborhoods to defend private property, free enterprise, free enterprise and freedom of work is not "defending the rich." In fact, the rich (those before and now) they defend themselves. In the neighborhood, and from the neighborhood to the country, defend private property is to defend our right to progress, prosperity. The poor people do not want a government "Livable poverty there." No! What we want is to stop being poor. we strive for. And that effort will be pointless if, after much struggle we have a government that (a communist, as arbitrary, or as Chief Bureaucrat said recently: "Because I can expropiarte whenever I want") processing that effort at all.
