Venezuela sends oil to the American poor, WHY??

Question

Why is there hunger in the U.S.A.? Why so many native american tribes asking for money through the mail to help them open hospitals on their reservations? OK, lets blame the illegal immigrants.

Answer 1

why would you blame the ilegal inmigrants... I lived there as a student and knew lots of ilegal inmigrants, most of them paid taxes through a number sent by the IRS (kind of a social security number for ilegals) and then they couldn't claim their taxes back obviously because of their ilegal condition, IRS never loose... seems to me is about George Bush's policy more than anything else.

Answer 2

Venezuela sends oil to the poor for political reasons,nothing more. This way Hugo Chavez gets to look like a good guy who cares about the plight of the poor. Forget the fact that his own policies have increased poverty in his own country,if he takes care of the poor he creates then liberals the world over will say what a great guy he is,even more so if he sends some free stuff to America's poor. And if occasionally he imprisons a few people in his own country for disagreeing with him it's no big deal as long as he takes care of the poor. Of course Chavez is a guy who looks at Castro as a role model,just like most of the american left,so we can figure out how things will be in Venezuela in a decade or two.

Answer 3

If Native American Tribes are asking for money it is because the U.S. government is still oppressive. It is still racist. It is still culturally ignorant. The U.S. government stole nearly everything from Native people and will not uphold treaty rights to give them the ability to live well. So Native people live in poverty at the hands of the government. They do not squander their casino money. Not all Natives have casinos. Most casino money is used to pay for tribal housing, tribal health care, etc...
Even today the government drills on Native land, dumps nuclear toxins on Native lands, denies Natives the right to fish and hunt, etc... That is why they need money. If they are asking for it.

I am a Native woman.

Answer 4

Disregarding the rest of your drivel in your question, Venezuela sends oil to the American poor because Chavez has a real jealousy/envy thing with Bush and he is trying to poke the bear, so to speak. Chavez does this, while allowing the bulk of his citizens to live in far worse poverty than the poorest of poor in the USA. Go figure!

Answer 5

He sends oil to win political points and usurp Bush. The Native Americans must be asking for money because they are squandering their untaxed profits from the casinos they own.

Answer 6

Because Chavez hates Bush.

If our poor benefit, more power to them.

Answer 7

Because Chavez is a good man.
