   That part of the world which is dirt poor and living in Venezuela has   
   for generations been sitting on top of a fortune in oil. Billions of   
   of dollars right under the ground their poverty shacks stand upon and   
   upon which their ragged children walk without shoes.   
      
   They have seen this vast wealth sucked out of the ground from beneath   
   them to feed the greed of the super rich while their sick children   
   starve.   
      
   Along comes a president who says 'this will stop and be reversed' and   
   he diverts the revenues from the bloated rich to schools and shoes and   
   medical care for the children of the dispossed.   
      
   It is not difficult to see who the poor support so that their children   
   get medicine and shoes and schools and, at last, a future.   
      
   And it is plain to see who they will fight for if need be.
