Lured in by the lies socialists tell about how great it would be to have government control every aspect of everyone’s lives, Venezuelans are now disgusted with how much they have suffered. Some are even warning the United States about their horrific daily lives in socialist Venezuela. "... politicians bank on being able to convince people to give them more power under the guise of taking care of them, and historically, people continue to fall for the lie and become starving slaves to the government..." Regardless of the warnings, or the actual historical facts, many Americans are still all too convinced that by becoming a slave to the government, their lives will be improved. The problem with socialists is not that they want to be enslaved and owned by the government, which they do. The problem is that they want the rest of us to be enslaved right along with them. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-07/starving-venezuelans-warnings-us-socialism-big-lie _____________________________________________________________ Half of us understand how the government Fs-UP everything it touches. And the other half of us wants to put the government in charge of EVERYTHING?? Good grief!

They seems to have hit on an excellent balance. Their political system should be studied and perhaps copied. What a video...
The comments about taxation here are true. Everyone is taxed a lot, not just robbing the rich to give free stuff to those who pay no taxes- which is the dream of all the lefties in this country. Or should I say current reality with more to come.
The fruits of socialism. Or should that be the turds of socialism? Maybe AOC has some answers here- being the progressive economist that she is.
