Socialism always starts as a “people’s movement,” with mindless and ignorant people being directed by elitist con men in the background, telling the foolish that by bringing down the “rich,” everyone will share in the abundance that socialism will bring. It is always a lie, and invariably almost all the people end up in poverty, with the exception of the top socialist leaders who live like kings. Fidel Castro is certainly one who has lived that life, and his protege, Hugo Chavez destroyed the Venezuelan economy pursuing the same socialist policies.
When the economy comes crashing down, it is necessary for the leadership to blame an outside source, and when Chavez was alive, he continually named the United States for all of the woes the country was suffering from. In fact, the oil rich country provides 9 percent of the U.S. gross oil imports, which must be a considerable sum of export income to the nation of 30 million people. As such, the U.S. provided a huge portion of the countries income, but Chavez resented that as well.
Venezuela has expropriated foreign and domestic businesses, which means that the people have little invested in the country and are becoming very unhappy with the leadership as it nosedives to complete economic ruin.

You might not hate Socialists so much if you knew that you are one. If you’ve ever driven on a public road, gone to a public school, flown out of or into a public airport, crossed a public bridge, flushed your toilet, gone to a city park, state park, national park, used the internet, used GPS, been assisted by a police or fire department, the list goes on and on!
Socialism is the only form of government that has EVER produced a middle class!
Send our brave Democratic House members down to provide armed security. Should be all cleaned up in a matter of a 3-4 hour sit in.
Welcome to the New England version of the world.

No Sir, you are misinformed.
Max Shipek politicians drained Venezuela dry while saying they were sharing the wealth.
O’bama has spent about $Billion dollars on vacations in the last 7 years. The Clintons have about 1.5 billion in their LLC.
If you can’t see the similarities, you are a moron.
