Discrimination....

I found 2 excellent pieces of information in Megaresistencia.

The following image is from a study that identifies the difference in salary between a professional (University Degree) and the Boss or President the major state-run companies in the SOCIALIST goverment of Hugo Chavez Frias.

In a "socialist environment" we should all be treated as equals. However the president of PDVSA makes over 10 times as much as an average engineer. The president of the Seniat (Tax) makes close to 10 times the amount an executive makes.

Socialist who?



This image below is a scan from a newspaper in Venezuela for jobs in the Venezuelan goverment. The underlined sentence reads:

Requirements:
- "Applicant must have knowledge about socialist concepts. The applicant must also identify and accept the revolutionary process of the country".



Basically Venezuelans are not supposed to think anymore. You cant have your own views or ideas. The goverment wants to think for us.

However, according to the Organization of American States Venezuela is perfect.

Discrimination
1.an act or instance of discriminating.
2.treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit: racial and religious intolerance and discrimination.
3.the power of making fine distinctions; discriminating judgment: She chose the colors with great discrimination.
4.Archaic. something that serves to differentiate.
