Socialism in Venezuela has made illiteracy a thing of the past

Um that they called themselves the united soviet socialist republic? They were a nasty repressive oligarchy, not that much different to our current administration.But to the right wing propogandists they are the symbol of all that is bad with liberal thought and they truck it out whenever they want to discredit a liberal notion, while ignoring all the known socialist states that operate just fine and have better living standards than the US, including better medical care for lower cost and available to more of the population.This message has been edited by RAZD, 11*07*2005 08:11 AM

Compare the rates for those on welfare and those not on welfare and show that the ones on welfare increased substantially in comparison to the others.Otherwise this is (another) post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Society has changed, and part of that change is the fact that it is more acceptable for a mother to be single, thus there is an increase across the board.
