Why don't the people of Argentina default on the IMF loans and eliminate all 
control of Argentina resources by the IMF?

The IMF is a loan shark who is only interested in profit (interest ontop of 
interest).  Until the leaches are removed, blood (natural resources) will 
exit the country.

Think about it:  Natural resources owned by the people of Argentina are 
removed by private corporations at a profit realized only by the 
corporations.  In one way, for example, if I allowed Shell to drill for oil 
on my land, then when the struck oil, I wouldn't get a dime for "my" oil.  
What kind of deal is that?

IMF and multi-national corporations are providing what benefits to the 
people of Argentina?  If I am one of those people attending regular, local 
assembly meetings, am I recieving any benefit, directly or indirectly, from 
the IMF or multi-national corporations?  My guess is a resounding no!.  So 
throw the bums out.

I realize it's oversimplistic on my part, but I was hoping someone would 
write an article on what what happen if Argentina siezed all multi-national 
corporation assets in the country and refused to recognize the IMF.  What 
would be the consequences?
