I read this a little while ago: Venezuela's Chavez Considers Sale of U.S. Refineries
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000086&sid=aP3vwKnY0rNU&refer=latin_america snip:
``Not one Venezuelan works at these refineries,'' Chavez said in Buenos Aires yesterday, according to Venezuela's Communication and Information Ministry. ``They don't give us one cent of profit. They don't pay taxes in Venezuela. This is economic imperialism.''
Chavez, who on Jan. 30 signed agreements with China to boost sales of gas and oil to the world's second-largest energy consumer after the U. S., also said he may sell refineries in Germany, Sweden and the U.K., according to the ministry's Web site.
Venezuela's threat to exit businesses in the U.S. reflects stepped up rhetoric by Chavez, 50, a friend of Cuban President Fidel Castro, to reduce business with the U.S., buyer of about half of all Venezuelan oil exports.
