    The problem with extreme views is both sides play each other and real freedom is lost in the middle. 90% of business men are parasitic non contributors within the confines of nepotism and the good old boy system. Its the same for politicians bankers and Unions. The few who are not part of these parasites carry the load of the entire nation on their back and they are heroes. We need to find that middle road to freedom without enabling the parasites on either side to stifle us. The non contributing parasitic business men and the lazy good for nothing politicians and Unions! Don't lambast Venezuela like they are stupid. They got rid of one set of parasites. Greece may be in the dumps right now as well but guess what they took the debt makers and their buddies to the woodshed. What did we do? We allow them to print 2 trillion IN DEBT! Initially in history money was GIVEN to good causes not issued as DEBT! The US cant get rid of these parasitic monsters. In my book that makes Venezuela and Greece slightly smarter than us and slightly braver than us because they stood up to at least one set of the many parasites.

    Caution: you, like so many others, made a bad typo... The correct spelling is "Presidebt"...

    Hmmm... Product Development Idea... take some of my cool black "Blue" e-cigs, change the LEDs on the end of the battery to green (or gold)... a little gold leaf work... I could see this... it'd have to be on the battery, tho, as the disposable cartridges would be a hassle to hand-do each one just to throw out after a couple days, tho what a statement, eh??

    As to Cigars... if you can come up with the product, I know someone who would not only appreciate them, but appreciate the message of them as well!

    well you're thinking like a hero-but Peter was conflicted over that. He needed his teat to continue to produce. He went to Hank to warn him what was happening. This is always an interesting point in any relationship. when does basic mooching turn into active and willful destruction? and why? it doesn't seem that smart to me if you are an expert moocher. even ants know to feed the aphids. But it happens. The same people who claim the need of you yesterday advocate your death today by a thousand cuts or one fell swoop-whatever

    I might take up smoking again if I could get some $ cigars... can't recall what type I liked best, it's been 20 years or so.

    Somebody should put out a line of those electric cigarettes with a $ logo on them, and/or a line of pipes with the $ logo on them...

    Peter Mooched off Roark, then let the bad guys screw Roark over in order to protect his own ass, iirc.

    Goodness, Euda! This is a seriously disturbing article. There is no way to turn the Venezuelan economy around by engineering a full scale assault on corporations or independent business owners. This whole ludicrous belief system of the rich have too much, make too much, therefore it needs to be given away is nothing that has ever worked in past regimes. It won't work now, either. Crash and burn is in the future of that country.

    It's Maph..... (He also wants to force you to not visibly exercise your opinion...especially if you're a business owner. Funny thing. Maph doesn't see the stepping stone of forcing businesses to not have a say in who frequents their businesses and how that might lead to a full take over of businesses by the gov. A little bit of evil is still evil, Maph. And little bit of takeover is still a takeover. A=A.)

    Exactly what I was thinking. Government motors, GE with a standing reservation in the Lincoln bedroom, etc. etc.

    Either Clinton or Warren could easily morph into Maduro.
