Jerry, the amount of wealth that the family of Chávez has accumulated in Barinas, his native region, is impressive. The have become the new landowners. We are in a situation in Venezuela where Chávez family don’t have to hide anything, because there are not accountability mechanism to imprison them. In fact, they shamelessly show off their wealth.
You don’t support democratic accountability mechanism but you ingenuously want to compare his salary!

Asunto: RE: [OPE] Venezuela is the most democratic country in Latin America
What is the salary and personal wealth of Hugo Chavez compared to the
other presidents of Latin America? (For purposes of comparison, Barrack Obama's
personal income for 2007, according to his tax return, was $4.2 million). Surely,
this is a more relevant criteria for accessing how democratic a nation
is than whether there are or are not term limits. What are his personal
connections to large transnational corporations? Were they, for instance,
large donors in his re-election campaign? To what extent do the wealthiest
individuals and corporations control public policy in Venezuela compared
to other countries in the hemisphere?
In solidarity, Jerry
