Maduro Orders Seizure of Closed Venezuela Factories, Jailing of Owners
MSN ^ | 14 May 2016

Posted on 05/14/2016 5:39:09 PM PDT by Publius

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday ordered authorities to seize factories that have stopped production and jail their owners, a day after declaring a state of emergency to combat the country's economic crisis.

"We must take all measures to recover productive capacity, which is being paralyzed by the bourgeoisie," he told a rally in Caracas.

"Anyone who wants to halt (production) to sabotage the country should get out, and those who do must be handcuffed and sent to the PGV (Venezuelan General Penitentiary)," he said.

That’s the way it always goes. Their savior turns out to be a fraud. And usually he gets rich then leaves the country.

I think the instability is because many are still working but like Weimar Germany they are working for less and less with each passing minute. In Weimar Germany restaurant prices would change while you were eating, and people were paid twice per day so they could spend money at lunchtime before it plummeted in value within a few HOURS...

” Not to worry, Hillary, Nancy, Harry, and others in the leadership keep telling us that they want to help grown the middle class.”

That’s the biggest lie ever told.

The dems want to destroy the middle class.

An economically independent class of people is the biggest threat to the dems and their agenda.

This is becoming readily apparent to everyone who used to be middle-class and are now facing taking foodstamps, welfare, or scam to get disability.

I’ve heard sooooo many people say something to the effect:

“It’s almost like they want you to get on the dole.”

Yeah, they do.

The piss poor Mexicans are just as bad as Venezuela. The only difference is they have a safety valve of pouring across our border and send hard currency back to their bullshit country to keep it afloat.

That picture on the front of MSN. He looks so heroic. Like MSN adores him, the evil factory owners shutting down their factories to harm the nation. Couldn’t be because the nation is collapsing, no.

Castro did the same thing. Only problem was, there was no one left who actually knew how to run the factories.........

Kind of like Detroit now.

"That should be the tipping point. The people have nothing left to lose now."

We should drop them lots of rope, with instructions:

“...and don’t forget most of them HATE business and corporations — they want to stick it to them. Narrow-minded stupidity...just who do they think builds the stuff they buy in the stores?”

They think in the absence of corporations that a cottage industry would spring up making iphones and flat screen TVs. Kinda like when Mao wanted everyone to have a blast furnace in their backyard.

So the person who ordered government offices to only be open 2 days a week should be arrested then ?

Check out Chavez’ daughter’s net worth. And all his buddies, too.

Do you think Obama will seize their US accounts and use the money to buy food and toilet paper for the Venezuelans? Of course not.

You are right it is the biggest lie ever told.

And the Dems brought interest rates on savings accounts (CDs etc) to zero. The left in Europe is talking about negative rates on bank accounts. The days of getting a 3% return on your passbook savings account are gone-that has also hurt the class of savers-the middle class.
