Venezuelan entrepreneur has a warning for Americans: Socialism literally k**ls people

Two reasons why no worry here:
1. Bloomberg's money will screw Bernie out of the nomination.
2. Should that fail, the v**ers will v**e Bernie out.

this is all true. My cousin lives in Caracas. lived there when it was the richest country in South/Latin America. Now the poorest.

Food, water, electricity rationed. My cousin has some money and is able to get by via black market. what a mess and no light at the end of the tunnel.

Chavez was a disgrace. Maduro is a disgrace. Sanders once praised them, Castroand others. He wants to make the US into Venezuela.

I've posted before how the take down of a country happens:
1) Govt entices/takes care of people with free stuff
2) Govt raises taxes when free stuff output costs too much
3) Govt raises taxes as not enough money coming in as businesses get nervous and move out. Fewer and fewer jobs
4) Govt has to take care of more and more people
5) Govt raises taxes. people upset/had enough.
6) Govt starts locking up those that speak out
7) etc. etc. etc. as the economy goes down the tubes.

There's Venezuela...Cuba, USSR, Albania, North Korea, etc. China, too. It's only bastions of capitalism that saved China from going down the tubes. They are still a dictatorship and lots of people there are hoping the C*******t party goes out of business. I know this first hand. Have been there several time including extended stays. Also, have lots of friends there, including our frequent travel companions.

Hope the US populace is smarter than to let socialists move into power. The result is well documented...over and over again. I know. The Bernie bros keep telling us they can do it better. Same. Same. Same. Socialism always end in the same way...and...no diff between socialism and c*******m. c*******m results when socialism fails and the latter always fails.
