Just like in the US, the people of Venezuela sat on their asses and voted for it.

They have no one to blame but themselves.

3rd world superpower ALERT!

“Like others, Bastiat recognized that the greatest single threat to liberty is government.”

Can’t build a socialist paradise without breaking a few eggs.

Sean Penn is currently frolicking with his gorgeous new squeeze on a beach somewhere far from Venezuela for the moment. They just didn’t do socialism right there, you know.

Every highschool senior should be required to read, study and discuss Bastiat’s The Law. Simple but brilliant.

Sorry, that;s impossible to do...

There simply isn't enough "safe space" available for the frightened huddled snowflakes to cower in...

Plus we will run out of baby pacifiers for them to suck on...

Teaching Bastiat could give some, not all, the backbone to break out of dependence and have a wonderful fruitful life.

From The Law:

Existence, faculties, assimilation — in other words, personality, liberty, property — this is man. It is of these three things that it may be said, apart from all demagogic subtlety, that they are anterior and superior to all human legislation.

It is not because men have made laws, that personality, liberty, and property exist. On the contrary, it is because personality, liberty, and property exist beforehand,
that men make laws. What, then, is law? As I have said elsewhere, it is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.

Great Stuff !!!!
