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.

Todd Burgun the federal road system (interstates) are under national security that is why they have them in HI. They were copied after the autobahns to link military bases. The states could afford the programs if all the money wasn’t going to the feds and they would cost a lot less and be much more efficient. A clown in new Hampshire deciding what I need in las cruses NM is just a waste of time and lots of money since nothing is the same. Fire departments, police, most prisons are all local. One of the problems is the feds are not paying the locals for all of the dumb mandates and housing federal prisoners. If the politicians (starting with Johnson) hadn’t stolen from Social security and medicare there wouldn’t be a problem. Those programs are paid for by me and my employer (another 6.5% tax that liberals don’t think about ). They were both supposed to gain compound interest. The BS social programs like food stamps, ect. were not paid for by the majority of those using them and are not part of the powers enumerated in the constitution as allowed by the 10th amendment.
Geez. Where did that c**p come from? Our constitution has worked just fine for 200 years till a bunch of nitwits pervert it.
They’ll start mowing these people down any day now!
Greed is what makes capitalism work.
How much do youngest to bet the US takes over and deploys democracy and our centralized banking…
