Hugo Chávez’s power tends to corrupt; his absolute power corrupts absolutely
I personally feel that Hugo Chávez is essentially consolidating his power, and I have to quote one of well known sayings here, “Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” I think that this applies to anyone. However, I have to say that he is a very good public speaker; he seems to know how to capture his audience. Also, I have to say that I agree with much of what he says in his speeches. Whether he’s actually doing a great favor to his country men or not is debatable though.
