It’s for the people, you know:
President Hugo Chavez threatened on Sunday to take over farms or milk plants if owners refuse to sell their milk for domestic consumption and instead seek higher profits abroad or from cheese-makers.
With the country recently facing milk shortages, Chavez said “it’s treason” if farmers deny milk to Venezuelans while selling it across the border in Colombia or for gourmet cheeses.
“In that case the farm must be expropriated,” Chavez said, adding that the government could also take over milk plants and properties of beef producers.
“I’m putting you on alert,” Chavez said. “If there’s a producer that refuses to sell the product … and sells it at a higher price abroad … ministers, find me the proof so it can be expropriated.”
Addressing his Cabinet, he said: “If the army must be brought in, you bring in the army.”
Where are the leftist pinheads now, like Sean Penn, like Kevin Spacey, to tell the world what a great guy Chavez is? Where are they to tell us how we should model our country after him?
It always works out this way, and yet people are still looking to socialist leaders like Hillary Clinton to correct the problem, without thinking that GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM!
Less government equals more liberty. More liberty equals better business. Better business makes a more prosperous civilization. Everything government meddles in it slows down and makes more complicated.
We need a president that will lead us away from socialism. Chavez is showing us that it only leads to the oppression of the people.
