“enabling law”
Isn’t that what hitler called it?
They recently removed an opposition member of the Assembly and replaced her with a Chavista, just need a simple majority for that, simply in order to get this passed.
Is this much different than Obama deciding which laws to enforce, which laws to modify based upon his own orders, and who to prosecute or not prosecute as he solely determines?
Sean Penn wasn't available?
“This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.”
Socialists always double down when socialism fails—always. If Venezuelans don’t have enough toilet paper because of market distortions created by their government, for example, the only solution is MORE government.
The sad thing? Venezuela used to be a pretty nice country, and I bet there are plenty of Venezuelans who aren’t thrilled with the downward spiral (and rampant inflation) caused by socialism. They must be as sickened by the wealth redistribution, aka thievery, as we are in America. Nevertheless, they either aren’t a voting majority or they’re defrauded at the polls.
Truth be told, the takers live better for awhile on the plunder taken from others, but what are they going to do when the plunder runs out? For example, Maduro recently seized a number of electronics appliance stores, and some people are apparently getting a portion of the loot. That’s all well and good I suppose so long as one never wants to see those products in Venezuela again.
I’m sorry to say America is on the same path as Venezuela, except we started with more things to loot. Does anyone doubt the Democrats would do the exact same thing as Maduro if they could? Shoot! Obama doesn’t even bother passing laws authorizing him to do what he wants!
