Socialist Venezuela continues spiraling into misery and environmental devastation.
Just 20 years ago, Venezuelans were the richest and healthiest people in Latin America. Then they voted for socialism.
Government took over businesses and industries, took over health care and food distribution, and chased out capitalists.
Now Venezuelans struggle for survival daily. Photos show them butchering and eating dogs on the streets. Numerous reports find Venezuelans breaking into zoos to find animals to eat. 15 % of the population reportedly survives by sifting through dumpsters and trash heaps for food.
The average Venezuelan lost 19 pounds in 2016.
Meanwhile, Venezuela’s ultra-rich live like kings. The daughter of the late Venezuelan president is reportedly worth billions. The ruling socialist dictator appears to maintain power by rigging vote machines.
