Venezuela to Expand Fuel Discounts to U.S.
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/V/VENEZUELA_US?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=INTERNATIONAL
"CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuela said Friday it will expand a program to provide discounted home heating oil to low-income Americans, bringing savings to some Indian tribes in Maine."
"Venezuelan-owned Citgo Petroleum Corp. has already begun selling cheaper fuel in some areas of Massachusetts and New York City as part of a plan by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to aid poor communities that he claims are neglected by Washington."
Buy CITGO and you're likely to be helping fellow Americans. Buy any other gas and you're likely stuffing the pockets of fat-cat oil company chiefs and their partners (politicians).
Even if you questions Chavez' motives, you have to ask: with the record breaking profits other oil companies are making (remember the $100 million in profit last quarter?), why don't we see this type of program from them?
