I saw how OPEC screwed over Venezuela by trying to cause our Fracking companies to go out of business. Unintended consequences? But what you "Ignored" was thisYeah, sure just like Hillary said that she never sent or received Marked Classified material over her private server. Liberal lie, when caught in a lie they double down, so Hugo, who stole all the private investment companies assets in his Country, basically chasing out prosperity, soon, there was nothing left, because lazy people are just that lazy, and expect the government to sustain them, but when the money runs out, except for the liberal elite, people start to starve. Time after time, we have seen this disaster happen when Socialism takes over. But those in Charge always seem to be uber WEALTHY.
Guy, why did you ignore his point?
Venezuela is in trouble because oil revenues dropped from 900 Billion Bolivars a year to 159 billion.
So here you have a case of a society demanding it get to enjoy its own wealth and the system punishing it for doing so. and youa re so fine with this.
I guess you didn't notice but our FED while trying to prop up the US dictator, is printing money almost as fast, as the Weimar Republic did. In 1999 gold was $900 an ounce, today it is over $400 higher, yet the FED says there is no inflation. Someone is lying.spiraling inflation rates caused by untenable fiscal policies and massive shortages of the most basic commodities, such as food, diapers and beauty products.
Inflation is out of control.....I saw how OPEC screwed over Venezuela by trying to cause our Fracking companies to go out of business. Unintended consequences?

Okay.Venezuela is 100% socialist.....There are, believe it or not, folks unable to find or hold jobs due to extenuating circumstances.Better yet, tell the illegals and lazy democrat schlobs that their welfare checks will no longer arrive, see how long they sit on their couches, smoking dope, eating government cheese, and using their FREE cellphones. Soon they will be out there in Obama's roaring economic recovery working 29 fulltime hours, having to put their hard earned money into the social security fund<SARCASM>Let's tell Grandpa that he no longer should get his Social Security checks.and massive debtThe United States, Great Britain, Germany are all nations with healthy elements of socialism.
drop socialism and the debt drops and drops and no one dies or suffers, as is the myth
But the larger point is there simply aren't any nations that are 100% capitalist.
They are eating zoo animals now to survive...
We have seen Bernie Sanders almost take the throne from Hillary Clinton. Except for the Super Delegates, he had the most votes. So what is so appealing about Socialism/Communism/Liberalism. Even Whoopi Goldberg, who has made millions of dollars from a Capitalist Society, says "that Communism works on paper, but, when Humans get placed in Charge, then it's nuts. So why do you all want Socialism?
I'm not a socialist, communist, whatever ist.
However Socialism can work for some things. Like health. In the US health is one of the biggest areas of corruption, it take up about 3% of US GDP alone. The British healthcare system would be a lot better if the Tories weren't trying to make it into the US system, claiming it's too expensive but then wanting a system that costs twice as much.
Most areas of business you need that competition, but when it comes to healthcare, competition seems to just add layers. Like health insurance. Why do you need to pay for health insurance, and then pay for the profits on top of this health insurance? You don't need to in the US.
The US system sees hospitals trying to keep you in hospital and give you too much care, in the UK they want you out of the hospital as quickly as possible. I've experienced hospitals in other countries (not US or UK) where you go, they demand you stay three weeks in a hospital bed because you need part of your finger sewing up. Or go to one hospital for a scan and be quoted 4 times more for the scan than at another hospital. It's crazy, but a socialized system with health works, and it's been proven to work, and is cheaper in the long run.
Prisons don't work well either. Too many problems when private companies take over. When it's in Louisiana and it's private prisons owned by the police, then the police are trying to get more people in prisons than there should be, they're essentially making sure those who leave prison will come back anyway, it's ridiculous.
Fire services don't work well when private, used to be the case in England back in the day.
Fire engines would turn up, see there was no plaque on the house and go home with the fire still blazing.
Okay lets take a look at this analogy.
Back in the day if you paid for fire protection, the fire trucks would show up and you would have your house saved, if you didn't pay your house would burn down.
Back in the day, if you paid for your retirement, when you retired you would end up having a nest egg to live on, if you didn't you would go hungry.
Back in the day if you worked hard, you would keep 97 cents on the dollar while the government took 3 cents so they could provide US citizens an army to keep out invasions.
Today, if you don't pay fire protection, you get it because your neighbor had to pay.
Today, if you didn't save for retirement, then you get a SS benefit(even if you didn't pay into it) because your neighbor had to pay.
Toady, if you don't work , you get Free cellphone, free food, free healthcare, while your neighbor has to pay for it.
Detroit is bankrupt because those that had to pay moved away, leaving a failed city and lots of poor people who couldn't move away. What part of that don't you understand?
Venezuela failed because the government made all the people who could pay, leave or took all their money, who stayed, now there isn't any money there.
Then again are you saying that the US is a worse place to live now for most people than it was in say, 1900?
Detroit is bankrupt because the industry it had failed. Simple as. This has nothing to do with what existed before. The fact that people left is a damning indictment on the US as a whole with its inability to deal with changes such as this. Most people just shrug their shoulders and blame taxes for it.
Venezuela has suffered massive problems because the price of oil has gone down. There were a lot of poor people in Venezuela who hadn't been included in education and were destined to remain poor. What Chavez attempted to do was to bring people out of that, people voted for him because he was going to change their lives for the better. Problem is he couldn't do it.
I'm now awaiting the point to your post.

Hugo Chávez daughter is the richest individual in Venezuela, report claimsAccording to the Miami-based Diario Las América, Venezuelan media sources will soon publish materials showing that María Gabriela Chávez has bank accounts in the U.S. and Andorra with assets totaling nearly $4.2 billion.
Those figures stand in stark contrast to the overall state of the Venezuelan economy, which has been plagued by the collapse of oil prices, spiraling inflation rates caused by untenable fiscal policies and massive shortages of the most basic commodities, such as food, diapers and beauty products.

I'm not sure you quite understand the situation as it was in Venezuela. Chavez wasn't just giving out free money, he was EDUCATING PEOPLE, giving them healthcare, instead of allowing oil money to go into rich people's pockets.
I'm not defending Chavez, he messed up big time, I'm not a socialist or a communist at all, however if a country has natural resources in the amounts Venezuela has, why should this money go to a small elite of usually foreign people? Chavez took that money and used it for the benefit of the people, rather than the benefit of a few.
Corruption is a problem, with government, or with private companies the rich etc. Some things don't change. Venezuela was corrupt before Chavez and corrupt after him too.

Why is it we keep hearing the liberals talk about FREE public education, yet the teachers WONT teach for FREE? Why is it that the liberals want US Citizens to pay more in taxes then avoid paying taxes that they champion? At one time, doctors would give pro bono medical to those in need, because those who could pay were happy enough to cover the costs to keep the doctor around. Healthcare was never a right, but a privilege, that people who worked were given healthcare benefits to attract better employees. Now that Obama has taken over the healthcare system everyone is suffering (expect Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi who wrote themselves out of the system) by having to pay more.

Are you getting pissy about free education now?
Look, if your views are that people shouldn't be educated if they were unlucky enough to be born into poor families, and you're so unwilling to see the benefits of compulsory education for all, then I guess there's nothing I can do for you. You'll just have to accept that it exists in most countries in the world, and that it's a very good thing.
Why kids shouldn't be born into this world with equal opportunities to make it in this world, I don't know. The right go on about how kids are so innocent, can't have abortions because the fetus is so innocent. But the moment they're born they're judged on how much money their parents have and their life opportunities are defined by how much money their parents have.... seems a little contradictory to me.
So as long as everyone suffers equally, then no one should have more money than the others?you said " Chavez took that money and used it for the benefit of the people, rather than the benefit of a few..."
I asked "Can you show me how that money is being used to benefit the people?"
Yeah, sure just like Hillary said that she never sent or received Marked Classified material over her private server. Liberal lie, when caught in a lie they double down, so Hugo, who stole all the private investment companies assets in his Country, basically chasing out prosperity, soon, there was nothing left, because lazy people are just that lazy, and expect the government to sustain them, but when the money runs out, except for the liberal elite, people start to starve. Time after time, we have seen this disaster happen when Socialism takes over. But those in Charge always seem to be uber WEALTHY.Okay lets take a look at this analogy.I'm not a socialist, communist, whatever ist.
However Socialism can work for some things. Like health. In the US health is one of the biggest areas of corruption, it take up about 3% of US GDP alone. The British healthcare system would be a lot better if the Tories weren't trying to make it into the US system, claiming it's too expensive but then wanting a system that costs twice as much.
Most areas of business you need that competition, but when it comes to healthcare, competition seems to just add layers. Like health insurance. Why do you need to pay for health insurance, and then pay for the profits on top of this health insurance? You don't need to in the US.
The US system sees hospitals trying to keep you in hospital and give you too much care, in the UK they want you out of the hospital as quickly as possible. I've experienced hospitals in other countries (not US or UK) where you go, they demand you stay three weeks in a hospital bed because you need part of your finger sewing up. Or go to one hospital for a scan and be quoted 4 times more for the scan than at another hospital. It's crazy, but a socialized system with health works, and it's been proven to work, and is cheaper in the long run.
Prisons don't work well either. Too many problems when private companies take over. When it's in Louisiana and it's private prisons owned by the police, then the police are trying to get more people in prisons than there should be, they're essentially making sure those who leave prison will come back anyway, it's ridiculous.
Fire services don't work well when private, used to be the case in England back in the day.
Fire engines would turn up, see there was no plaque on the house and go home with the fire still blazing.
Back in the day if you paid for fire protection, the fire trucks would show up and you would have your house saved, if you didn't pay your house would burn down.
Back in the day, if you paid for your retirement, when you retired you would end up having a nest egg to live on, if you didn't you would go hungry.
Back in the day if you worked hard, you would keep 97 cents on the dollar while the government took 3 cents so they could provide US citizens an army to keep out invasions.
Today, if you don't pay fire protection, you get it because your neighbor had to pay.
Today, if you didn't save for retirement, then you get a SS benefit(even if you didn't pay into it) because your neighbor had to pay.
Toady, if you don't work , you get Free cellphone, free food, free healthcare, while your neighbor has to pay for it.
Detroit is bankrupt because those that had to pay moved away, leaving a failed city and lots of poor people who couldn't move away. What part of that don't you understand?
Venezuela failed because the government made all the people who could pay, leave or took all their money, who stayed, now there isn't any money there.
Then again are you saying that the US is a worse place to live now for most people than it was in say, 1900?
Detroit is bankrupt because the industry it had failed. Simple as. This has nothing to do with what existed before. The fact that people left is a damning indictment on the US as a whole with its inability to deal with changes such as this. Most people just shrug their shoulders and blame taxes for it.
Venezuela has suffered massive problems because the price of oil has gone down. There were a lot of poor people in Venezuela who hadn't been included in education and were destined to remain poor. What Chavez attempted to do was to bring people out of that, people voted for him because he was going to change their lives for the better. Problem is he couldn't do it.
I'm now awaiting the point to your post.
Hugo Chávez daughter is the richest individual in Venezuela, report claimsAccording to the Miami-based Diario Las América, Venezuelan media sources will soon publish materials showing that María Gabriela Chávez has bank accounts in the U.S. and Andorra with assets totaling nearly $4.2 billion.
Those figures stand in stark contrast to the overall state of the Venezuelan economy, which has been plagued by the collapse of oil prices, spiraling inflation rates caused by untenable fiscal policies and massive shortages of the most basic commodities, such as food, diapers and beauty products.
I'm not sure you quite understand the situation as it was in Venezuela. Chavez wasn't just giving out free money, he was EDUCATING PEOPLE, giving them healthcare, instead of allowing oil money to go into rich people's pockets.
I'm not defending Chavez, he messed up big time, I'm not a socialist or a communist at all, however if a country has natural resources in the amounts Venezuela has, why should this money go to a small elite of usually foreign people? Chavez took that money and used it for the benefit of the people, rather than the benefit of a few.
Corruption is a problem, with government, or with private companies the rich etc. Some things don't change. Venezuela was corrupt before Chavez and corrupt after him too.Can you show me how that money is being used to benefit the people?Chavez took that money and used it for the benefit of the people, rather than the benefit of a few.

Whoa, hold on tex. I just asked you a question that you conveniently avoided, let me ask it again, before you go on a liberal rant. Now focus on this question and please answer honestly, I know it will be hard but still try.Why is it we keep hearing the liberals talk about FREE public education, yet the teachers WONT teach for FREE? Why is it that the liberals want US Citizens to pay more in taxes then avoid paying taxes that they champion? At one time, doctors would give pro bono medical to those in need, because those who could pay were happy enough to cover the costs to keep the doctor around. Healthcare was never a right, but a privilege, that people who worked were given healthcare benefits to attract better employees. Now that Obama has taken over the healthcare system everyone is suffering (expect Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi who wrote themselves out of the system) by having to pay more. Now let me show you some examples of what liberalism does.Yeah, sure just like Hillary said that she never sent or received Marked Classified material over her private server. Liberal lie, when caught in a lie they double down, so Hugo, who stole all the private investment companies assets in his Country, basically chasing out prosperity, soon, there was nothing left, because lazy people are just that lazy, and expect the government to sustain them, but when the money runs out, except for the liberal elite, people start to starve.

Are you getting pissy about free education now?
Look, if your views are that people shouldn't be educated if they were unlucky enough to be born into poor families, and you're so unwilling to see the benefits of compulsory education for all, then I guess there's nothing I can do for you. You'll just have to accept that it exists in most countries in the world, and that it's a very good thing.
Why kids shouldn't be born into this world with equal opportunities to make it in this world, I don't know. The right go on about how kids are so innocent, can't have abortions because the fetus is so innocent. But the moment they're born they're judged on how much money their parents have and their life opportunities are defined by how much money their parents have.... seems a little contradictory to me.

I asked "Can you show me how that money is being used to benefit the people?"
The Road to Serfdom (German: Der Weg zur Knechtschaft) is a book written by the Austrian-born economist and philosopher Friedrich von Hayek between 1940 and 1943, in which he "[warns] of the danger of tyranny that inevitably results from government control of economic decision-making through central planning."[1] He further argues that the abandonment of individualism and classical liberalism inevitably leads to a loss of freedom, the creation of an oppressive society, the tyranny of a dictator, and the serfdom of the individual. Hayek challenged the general view among British academics that fascism (and National Socialism) was a capitalist reaction against socialism. He argued that fascism, National Socialism and socialism had common roots in central economic planning and empowering the state over the individual.

If you want me to focus on the question, can I suggest you cut the bravado? Too many people on here attack before they do anything else, and it's tiring.
Anyway, I answered that question.
As for equality being people having the same amount of money. No, that's not what I'm talking about. However when it comes to education, kids should all be given the chance to learn and to be able to make their way through life based on their abilities and no on how much money their parents have.
How many people from Venezuela or Cuba are on the list? Are you willing to STEAL all the money from the black, white, latino, homosexual, man or woman in the list, so everyone can then be equal? Some of these people were very well educated, some weren't, is it the education or their abilities that enabled them to achieve huge success?The 20 richest celebrities in the world

I guess you didn't notice but our FED while trying to prop up the US dictator, is printing money almost as fast, as the Weimar Republic did. In 1999 gold was $900 an ounce, today it is over $400 higher, yet the FED says there is no inflation. Someone is lying.
gee, I am trying to have a conversation here, and you know what, a liberal does the typical thing that liberals always do. Don't worry Joe, I have thick skin, so go ahead and insult all you want.
