Zero Hedge has it, though it is a wild and wooly economic blog with bad language, anti-semitism in the comments.

Here is how obozo or the next one will do it. A supreme court packed with marxists.:

“”The Supreme Court of Justice has spoken, its word is holy and must be respected by all parts of society and all institutions,” Maduro declared.”

I doubt Michael Savage is suffering from Venezuela’s collapse.

Must be a member of the GOP Elites who doesn't understand how the middle classes live with no money to spare for online subscriptions. Grin.

How do you know they were rigged? People probably really thought socialism would give them everything for free.

I don’t know that they were rigged, but any political opposition has been imprisoned or killed. This last election they actually won some seats but some think it’s so Maduro can blame economic problems on them (sound familiar?). You are right about the uninformed masses thinking socialism would save them.

I've seen that image and thought it was great, except for the plethora of misspellings and really bad grammar as well as punctuation, therefore, I have fixed it so now you can post it far and wide.

Nothing makes us look worse than a meme with a bunch of really bad misspellings.

Oh, and the one that bothered me most:
Venizuela → Venezuela

Venezuela is the latest and great example why Socialism eventually fails every time.

The wonders of Socialism/Communism. Just wait for DAYS/WEEKS/MONTHS or YEARS for health care while the ELITES get what we WERE used to.

Don’t forget the comma before “and”, which here is a coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses.

It is not only oil-rich, the country also has a couple of huge world-class gold projects that were in the initial development stage until Chavez was elected.

The country has a lot going for it except for moron leftists.

The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
—Robert A. Heinlein

“Freedom is fragile and elusive, for rarely does the appreciation of it exceed the pleasure of being able to tell others what to do.”
-Terry Rossio, screenwriter

“There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”
—Will Rogers

Uh no. Venezuelas “collapse” isn’t causing suffering. It is a magnificent display of socialism fully implemented.
