Flight of the Valkyries Venezuelans

AP is reporting on the flight of rich Venezuelans. It seems they prefer the land of "Satan" to the their own little tyrant. This is not unlike the flight of wealthy Europeans to Switzerland.

    As Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez further tightens control of the South American country's economy, wealthy Venezuelans who once thought they could live with his socialist edicts are turning to their backup plan — flight to the United States, particularly Florida.

    Venezuelans have long gobbled up condos and pre-construction deals in Florida as investments, but the latest buyers want homes where they can live and business properties that will help them earn a green card.
