Socialism Fails Every Time

-Source-Reason- Socialism has become cool in America under the nice name democratic socialism. Gloria lvarez ‏knows better because shes from Latin America and studied socialism there. She says: Watch out! Socialism has a clear track record of wrecking every country that implements it. Cuba tried socialism. Things got so bad that tens of thousands fled the island on dangerous makeshift rafts. Others paid lots of money to be allowed to leave. lvarez interviews people who fled. One man told her that in Cuba: You dont see any future. Everything is stagnated...health care education nowadays theyre in ruins. Another said: My father a doctor had to sell illegal meats out of his ambulance...because Cuban doctors earn less than 1 of American doctors. Because of his experience with socialism that man is now running as a libertarian for a Florida State House seat. He adds: I tell my Venezuelan friends we warned you guys! After Cuba Venezuela became immersed in socialism. For a while things seemed to work OK thanks to the countrys oil wealth; Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world and used to be the richest country in Latin America. Celebrities like Michael Moore and Sean Penn visited Hugo Chavez and praised his socialism. Venezuelans were happy too. A former mayor in Venezuelas capital city told lvarez: People were clapping so hard. They were like Oh finally there is somebody here making social justice. But eventually socialism led to a mismanagement of the economy that was so bad that money started to run out. The government just printed more. So much more that it led to million-percent inflation. Life savings were wiped out. When businesses raised prices to try to keep up with inflation Chavez and his successor President Maduro banned that. When businesses did it anyway they were seized by the government. This tragic video shows a shopkeeper pleading as his business is taken away. It wasnt a one-time thing; more than 30000 businesses were confiscated. Now millions starve. The average Venezuelan has lost 24 pounds. More than 2 million people have fled the country.
