Norway took five trillion dollars of North Sea oil revenues and made their citizens lives better. They gave their sons and daughters free education; they gave every citizen free health care. Their aging and infirm citizens have comprehensive supportive care. All the people who work, regardless of the job, have a living wage.
Norway is an example of how enlightened leaders make people's lives better, and it is an example of how we could improve the lives of every single citizen of Venezuela. What happens in Venezuela makes a statement about who we are as a country and as a people.
