Min. of Edu: we're not gonna take people out of poverty and into middle class to become "escualidos"

#t=32

He says this at 0:21

Curious, so by that logic, anybody that gets out of poverty and then makes it into the middle class is more likely to become part of the opposition?

rather than just tacking a question mark at the end of your own dubious conclusion/interpretation.

For example, what exactly makes you think he isn't saying that the Bolivarian revolution doesn't intend to create a new generation of selfish "now that I've got mine, fuck you!" selfish SOBs, when it creates opportunities for eduction and health care for the poor? But *I* don't know, and your question/innuendo isn't sufficient to supply anything other than RW propaganda.

For food, medicine, liberty of expression, the right to live without oppression, then we are a little selfish all of us, are we not?

so adding *your* question to the mix doesn't supply any missing argument.
