#4 Just what you would expect from the bourgeoisie 'hoarders and wreckers' turning traitor! Maybe Sean Penn and Harry Belafonte could emigrate and fill the void left by these traitors to the Bolivarian Cause.

#10 The rate of emigration is about 3-5% per year. At some point soon something's gotta break, large scale. I haven't heard about how the neighboring countries are handling the inflow of refugees -- probably not bad if they are mostly the productive people.
