I feel bad for them, but they probably helped Chavez get into power.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to fight your way out of it.

I was gonna say people who vote for socialism should get it and those who don’t need to be willingly to pick up a rifle but yours is more succinct.

Little by little is the way it goes until the damage is insurmountable. The millennials don’t have a clue — and God help the kids in the universities.

You hit a point where currency is worthless. You trade physical goods. A pack of smokes for a pound of rice.

And the parents who put them there.

Hyperinflation benefits the government and the ruling elite. They will lack nothing! They will be paid regardless of the value of the currency.

Hyperinflation reduces ALL savings to essentially zero, thus making all poor and dependent.

Hoping the Venezuelans rise up and kick their “president” out of power and into the gutter.

Some of the commenters saying it isn’t a socialism vs capitalism issue. OK Biff, then what type of issue is it then??? How many times do countries have to be driven to ruin before they admit they’re wrong?
