Naw, it's not just the Political Top, it's also the Opposition Top, but much of their wealth is offshore.

Venezuela is sad, because it's the age old battle between corrupt Popualist so- called Socialists, vs corrupt Feudal Capitalists.

Other than the cars, IPODs and IPhones, Marx, Engels, Lenin, FDR, Big Bill Haywood, Mary Jones, Tommy Douglas, would all recognize the conflict.
