Hmmm Chavez will take the retailers bank accounts, Real Estate Property, fixtures, and stock of goods. But how does Chavez restock the store shelves?

Next year the headline will be as follows:

President Obama and DemocRATS ordered Sunday the seizure of all privately-owned retail chains on accusations that they raised prices after Federal Reserve devalued the dollar by half.

I can understand oil and other commodities, but retail is pocket change. You’re just pissing off shoppers.

Nationalize the wholesalers and so on up the supply chain. They can't raise prices either. Yes, at some point you run out of businesses to nationalize, but think of all the private property you've stolen. You may be able to run the nationalized distribution network for a while on all those stolen good.

Eventually of course it falls apart. Then you blame the United States.
