Twenty years ago Venezuela had the worlds largest proven petroleum reserve. It probably still has the worlds largest proven reserves of crude oil, but besides stores empty of the most basic goods, power shortages, mawssive starvation to the people are eating their pets, severe repression and other problems, South America’s newest Socialist State cannot produce enough gasoline to supply domestic demand.

Thanks to a link provided by WuChang, the Breitbart report is linked above, and the Alley will be here when you click back.

For our part, Venezuela is an only slightly more example of the evils of Socialism. First, gun control to protect the ruling elite and remove political power from the people, and then the people find themselves in a rigidly controlled environment with no freedom at all.

Let me tip the Stetson to WuChang for the link, because I appreciate all the help I can get.
