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.

Michael, please show me credible figures that show that most of our country’s debt is due to social programs.
Richard Woodson, I truly believe you do. The problem lies when you are gone, and your children who don’t work will not have to for support. Therefore children like mine who do and will work, will have to support them, and their children… The socialist economic circle of life… Yes I truly believe you do…
Rael Cortez, I would like to do so, since the proof and data is there. It is there if you research for it. I am a Conservative, right now I am busy at work. I am working to take care of my family, and chose to give charity to whom I can, at my discretion, for it is my earnings… I am paying for my daughter’s college education, so then she will be able to do as I do, raise her own, and we all will carry our own weight, and (help) others ..
Michael Wright b******t. Do you charge your kids for food? If you do, you’re an$#%&!@*
Did you pass on the cost of their birth? If not, you embrace socialism.
Congrats.
A true conservative would tell their kid to fucking pay their own way. You appear to be confused about your own ideology.
And it’s really too bad that your mind can’t handle working AND backing up the retarded$#%&!@*that comes out of your mouth. I can and WILL back up EVERY SINGLE CLAIM I MAKE. Why? Because I don’t want to look like a douche.
I didn’t see him ask you to tell him about the charities you support. He asked you VERY POLITELY to provide any CREDIBLE figures you have, showing most of our debt comes from social programs.
You know it’s a lie, cause I can sure as hell prove you’re a liar.
And you try to pretend you just don’t have time.
Pretty shitty to lie like that.
Michael wright, I would like to see where YOU get your facts.
I am a free thinker, right now I am resting at home, it’s my night off from the hospital where I work nights to put MYSELF through school, help my family pay for bills, and save money. I’m usually running around 12 hours a night cleaning up bodily fluids, checking my patients vitals and making sure they are as comfortable as possible, but I’m glad you have the luxury of going on Facebook at work and answering random comments.
Rael Cortez, the facts are out there.. I wish I had time to get them for you… I applaud your commitment, and hard work.. Drive on…
Working so hard that Facebook is his only break.
Here’s what I would do. I’d stop making claims until you have the time and willingness to back them up.
I don’t buy the “I just don’t have time” argument, because we “all have access to fucking GOOGLE”.
