I am a Parasitic Bum

I believe in exchanging value for value. Mr. Maduro says that makes me a parasitic bum. Frankly, I'm amazed he even came back from his trip. Given the circumstances, I don't see that Mr. Maduro has any choice but to nationalize everything in sight and ration the loot to his friends and supporters.

In anticipation of this, anyone with a badge or a party card can be expected to grab something productive and pledge its assets and output to the Maduro regime. Venezuela then devolves into the barter zone - the ectoplasm of capitalism.

    Most definitely, the Venezuelans at my university are NOT parasitic bums, and indeed, they are quite welcome. They exchange value for value. I provide them a superior education on how to think in exchange for them financially supporting my family.

    My dozen Venezuelan students are staying here at Florida Tech out of fear that they won't be able to come back if they go home.

    Maduro broke all the mirrors in his vicinity long ago.

    If only the TBTF banks were allowed to go the way of free market reality they would soon follow Venezuela's government into the dustbin of history..
