If Chile falls, then South America is screwed.

This is really bad news for Chile... so they really want to become another Venezuela? Zimbabwe? Argentina?

I've seen it written a number of times that in recent years Chile has been on the upswing in terms of political and economic stability as well as overall prosperity.Electing a Spanish speaking Osama Obama certainly won't help one bit.

People in Chile just can’t stand prosperity and will fall for the socialist rhetoric all over again.

Chile was on my short list of countries to flee to when things became intolerable here.

That list may be getting shorter.

Socialists are drooling over Chilean’s retirement funds.
“We can do a lot of good with that! (he, he ,he)”

What fools people are.

This sounds lie the people of Chile are about to destroy their economic and social success story which has been a shining light in South America.

Despite running on a more market-oriented platform than that of Bachelet’s coalition, Matthei promised an increase in minimum pensions for “current and future retirees,” which prompted Bachelet to counter with a promise of higher minimum wages.

In other words, the centrist plans to borrow from future generations, increasing distributions, creating an underfunded pension system. She would turn the pension system into a welfare program, just as LBJ did to Social Security in the U.S.

The leftist candidate will increase the minimum wage so that there will be fewer jobs for the already unemployed youth. She will legalize abortion to pander to even more immoral self-indulgence.

Bankrupt the government so that we can live for today, live for ourselves, and damn the next generation, which we may not even permit to be born.

And the left is expected to win handily in this country, supposedly the cream of the Latin American crop.

It is a sick culture, Latin America, from which our politicians seem dead set on admitting twenty or thirty new Americans.

“Low Information” voters exist everywhere. The “Gov’t” will provide all their needs. “Until they run out of other peoples money”
