A Reuters story in Yahoo! News Canada via Drudge reports that Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, "is undergoing 'complex' alternative treatments more than two months after having cancer surgery in Cuba, his vice president said on Wednesday.”
I mention this because Chavez is leader of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, and extremely anti the U.S., especially regarding capitalism which he’s very much against.
However, just like the waves of financially successful Californians leaving the state due to excessive taxation, and the growing numbers who’re opening tax- protected Cayman Island bank accounts, this is one more example proving that, as a practical matter, socialist systems simply don’t work.
And what’s most interesting to me is that someone like Chavez who preaches, extols, rants and raves about the virtues of his perceived perfect political system, has to leave his nation for medical help because were he to stay home he’d soon be pushing up daisies.
So, this is another one of those cases where idealism works extremely well on paper, but when the theory collides with the “real world,” if you want to keep breathing or otherwise be successful, you’d better not buy your own BS.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
