And when the socialist government took over they collapsed?
They were going to collapse anyway
I disagree.
The Venezuelan economy also suffered in the 1980’s
Seems like it was inevitable
Under a capitalist government
It was inevitable
In fact the charts showed Venezuela was growing.
So tell me how government intervention in the economy is a good thing?
When Chavez first took power Venezuela was literally just walking out of a financial crisis
Because speaking from personal experience.
Government intervention destroys lives.
You’re not Venezuelan so you’re not speaking from personal experience
?
What?
You said you were speaking from personal experience
I am
You don’t know what caused the Venezuela crisis though
It wasn’t government intervention in the economy
I wasn’t talking about Venezuela.
I was talking about government intervention in the economy.
You were talking about how government intervention destroyed Venezuela
I was explaining how you are wrong
I had moved on.
Scroll up.
That’s quite abrupt
Anyway, what’s your next point
I have had personal experience where socialist policies destroy lives and force people to become slaves of the state where capitalism frees them. So please explain how government intervention in the economy is a good thing.
What experience
And tell me how “socialist policies” caused it
As I said...
I run and own a corporation.
And what happened
Dealing in real estate and low income housing.
And how did socialism cause it
Ok so you live in America right?
I do
As do I
Simple. There was this girl who rented from us, she was a nice young thing who actually began to work for us. She didn’t take any benefits and so she worked hard on a couple jobs, made some good investments and actually got a good job and began to make her way in life. Then there was an accident and she got let go at her job. Her sister told her it would be a great idea to go on welfare and food stamps. And so she did. Even when another company offered her a better job she turned it down because although she makes less, she can just claim unemployment, HUD and welfare from the government. You’re Prime socialism.
That’s not a socialism problem, that’s an American problem
