As in the rest of Latin America, corruption by the oligarchs and the ruling elites, has denied the bare essentials to the poor folks. CAPITALISM as it has been for decades past, has never worked in benefit of the poor, who are the vast majority of the populations in Venezuela and other Latin American sovereign nations. But now thanks to President Chavez, the poor are getting a chance for a better life for them and their kids. Of course the fat pigs don't like this scenario, and many are running out of Venezuela with their billions of dollars they made by exploiting the poor for decades, and putting the $$$ in banks in Miami and Houston. They now are now hiding like cowards here in my country of birth, and bitching like cowards, expecting for our Marines to invade Venezuela, and criminally depose the democratically elected president from power. As a 6-year U.S. Marine veteran, I know that will never happen again. We are so sick and tired of hearing the Cuban exiles, the Nicaraguans, and now the Venezuelans, wanting for our sons to go fight for their interests. Freedom is not free, you and only you must fight for it. Kudos to President Chavez. And the vast majority of us Texas Chicanos, veterans of many U.S. wars, fully believe you are a great man and a leader.

The Enabling Law and Chávez’s decrees were in accordance with the national constitution, which was passed by popular vote in 1999, Chávez’s first year in office. Many of the concepts of the constitutional reforms proposed in 2007 are present in the decreed laws, because many of them were originally written with the expectation that the reform would be approved by voters, but the laws were later changed so as to be in line with the current constitution, Venezuela’s Presidential Counsel, Gladys Gutierrez Alvarado, confirmed Monday that all of the organic laws decreed by President Chávez in the past 18 months were first turned over to the Supreme Court for approval, as required by the constitution.
The only organic law proposed by Chávez that was not approved as organic by the Supreme Court was the Labor Stability Law in August 2007, which sought to outlaw unjustified firings.

Why is it that the law in venezuela enables a labourer to get paid from his former employer for 5 months after he has voluntarily left the job? That is the most stupid law I have ever heard of. He voluntarily left the job and gets paid for 5 months after he has done so, he did not get fired.
What is that?
