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.

Don’t forget the lack of responsibility and willful ignorance of the effects of pollution. Do you remember what our cities looked like before the clean air and water act? Think China today!
Alan, social programs like food stamps are a drop in the bucket. You pay more taxes to corporations that pay their CEOs millions and pay no taxes. Those are taxes conservatives don’t think about.
I know that I like the comfort of knowing when I got transferred to different states, I could depend on uniformity in most laws and regulations.
As far as clowns in one place deciding things for another, is a stretch, as you elect the peoke that represent your area. If they aren’t doing that, elect someone else.
No point in reposting this on FB. Everyone has FB, so if they don’t get it, they are complete fools!
You can’t tax the working to pay the poor to do nothing and think that us that work hard for our money will be ok with that. Not to mention if the govt will give people just as much for not working as those that earn their money, why would anyone want to work for it? And there comes the economical collapse
Maybe the citizens want US to invade.
There rewards are coming.
