The Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke Saturday night in New York City at an event with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Jackson said, “The Venezuelan] government’s priorities are to invest in its people. They subsidize oil, gas, health care and education and that’s civil. We cannot subsidize our oil and education because we are investing in tax cuts for the wealthy and a war that does not make sense in Iraq. We need new values, we need to go another way.” [includes rush transcript]
