Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has announced new plans to create a subsidized food program for school teachers and other workers in the education sector.
Maduro explained that the new program would benefit as many as 700,000 families of education workers, including the children of teachers and professors. The president added that his government is committed to ensuring all teachers are provided with a living wage. Earlier this week, Maduro approved a 50 percent increase in teacher salaries.

Sounds like income inequality to me. Think of it, even in the socialist paradise called Venezuela there is income inequality, and these rabid buffoons like Bill DeBozio, Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, Bernie Sanders, and the feckless fool on the hill want to eliminate “income inequality” by turning the US into another Venezuela. F****** idiotic morons!

Control. More effective control when you (gov’t) can easily take things away. Especially when those people become accustomed to, and eventually come to depend on, the ‘free stuff’.

He knows he has to keep teachers on his side, to indoctrinate the children properly.

I thought that President Maduro had solved all of Venezuela's food problems like he solved the toilet paper shortage. Oh, wait . . . he didn't?
