Is Venezuela, under Hugo Chavez, Heaven on Earth to live in?
According to Wikipedia: "The World Values Survey has consistently shown Venezuelans to be among the happiest people in the world, with 55% of those questioned saying they were "very happy"." I've also heard that North Koreans say Kim Jong Il, the "Glorious Leader" of North Korea "Is 500% more Glorious" this year. But that's another story...

I am sure America will change that soon.

The elitists are the only happy campers in Venezuela. No communist rules, and only the elite thrive in such countries as the rest are slaves to the regime.

Sure, just ask the progressives. There's nothing like living under a dictatorship, having the government control every single inch of your life, and losing your liberty. Sounds like heavenly bliss to me (and apparently to the ACORN administration too).

It's all lies. Kind of like when we hear what a wonderful socialized medicine there is in Cuba. We aren't that stupid to believe it when most people live in abject poverty.

That's what Chavez tells them to say all others are hiding for fear of the worst.

I can't answer this question because I've never lived in Venezuela. But I heard from someone that visited their once, they pay like $1or less for a gallon of gas...

In a dictatorship, to say otherwise would be foolish and in some cases actually dangerous. Have you noticed that in almost every pole the countries whose people are the most repressed by the government and have the least freedoms almost ALWAYS say they are happy. Put 2 and 2 together.

If they're happy then good for them.
