The problems of socialism are plentiful and historic. The biggest problem is that in most cases, it leads to totalitarian rule. Despots like Chavez end up forcing all to obey them & their dictates, or die.
The free market is not fair. Some acquire great wealth while others suffer. However, the free market also tends to establish methods & organizations to help out those suffering. The “help” Hugo offers the Venezuelan people, will devour them once he has the power he wants.
Note that not only did Jimmy Carter lend credibility to the fake elections, but numerous Hollywood types seeking fame. fortune, and attempting to use their acting careers as justification for their political ambitions, and now we have found out that a Democrat Congressman, named McGovern I think, was actually working covertly with Chavez & company, to undermine the freely democratically elected & freedoms promoting sovereign government of Colombia. Yep, now members of Congress covertly act to destroy democratically elected nations we count as allies.
Socialism is a disease that spreads like cancer. Socialism is the AIDS of politics. Those who fall prey to the “government will do for you, government controls are the only way to protect you from the big, bad, corporations & anyone who has accumulated any level of wealth beyond that of desperate socialists, is a terrible person.”
The free market ain’t perfect, but it has offered and continues to offer all people opportunity to aspire to whatever level they desire. Few other systems allow average people to accumulate wealth based on their own worthy endeavors. Once the taxation for the good of all types get in, freedoms tend to be limited, then more limited, then controlled, then eliminated!
Think about it! Then, even if you do not like the man, vote for McCain & avoid the socialist trap we face!
