Well....you know....maybe if you're in the Politburo
Guess who’ll get the food ... and who won’t.
No doubt. And if you read the article, the Venezuelan people understand who will get the food under this program as well.
As I predicted. We’re now at #6.
1. Gain power by promising free stuff (and maybe add a little violence)
2. Redistribution - underpay the productive and overpay the unproductive
3. Production falls, prices rise
4. Implement price controls to fight inflation
5. Shortages become more serious
6. Government enters cycle of more and more dictatorial control and violence, diverting remaining resources to hardcore supporters
7. Revolution
8. Repeat - because people believe you can get something for nothing.
