Socialism disguises itself as a movement of the poor; but it has always been a movement of wealthy elites. Hugo Chavez’s daughter is reportedly worth $4 billion in a land of starving slaves.

Socialism is a curse that should be wished only on a hated enemy. Just 15 years ago, Venezuela was a rising, thriving, dynamic society.
