Venezuela, a country blessed with abundant oil reserves, reserves which Hugo Chavez has appropriated (stolen) through "nationalization", and a nation who is making a HUGE windfall profits from the enormous world-wide spike in oil prices, has an inflation rate of almost 23%, and cannot feed their own people. Hugo Chavez, the left-wing, anti-American, pro-Castro dictator of Venezuela, is set to seize yet more private industry assets, as he seeks to go down the failed road of Marxist-style socialism, the same ideological favorite of Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, and John Edwards. Look for this kind of thing if a Dem is elected president:


Venezuela's Chavez threatens to seize properties, citing price speculation

The Associated Press
Published: January 11, 2008

CARACAS, Venezuela: President Hugo Chavez threatened again on Friday to seize property from businesses if they are caught hoarding products, as Venezuela struggles with shortages of some basic foods and high inflation.

Chavez warned that price speculation is occurring "at all levels of society, from the big capitalists to the small shopkeepers," and said his government could expropriate property from individuals or companies that purportedly sit on goods for months to sell later them at inflated prices.

"I ask the ministers and lawmakers to pay a lot of attention to this because it's one of the causes of inflation," he said during a marathon address to legislators.

Annual inflation soared to 22.5 percent in 2007 — the highest official rate in Latin America — according to the Central Bank.

Chavez — a close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro — has made similar threats in the past. No such takeovers have occurred so far, however, and Venezuela continues to have many private supermarkets and food distributors.

Report 'em to the cops, then. They arrest people for the crimes you've accused them of.

Or, you could just go down and live in Venezuela for while. Send us a report on how "good" it is in the socialist "paradise"!!!

And yet, somehow, they find money to supply heating oil to some of your less prosperous friends and neighbors during cold snaps.

Bastards.

Yeah, but would have absolutely no reaction to the fact that the U.S. takes such poor care of its least fortunate, that we have to take aid from what he would think of as banana republics.

Sure.
