In present-day Venezuela, ironically a country that boasts the most abundant oil reserves in the world, the consequences of socialist policies have become all too apparent.
It is most astonishing that even as the Venezuelan crisis unfolds on TV screens across the world, the orientation of governance in the United States is in danger of degenerating into the same socialist experimentation that has brought such suffering and tragedy to the South American country.
Perhaps the proponents of such policy measures should be reminded of what Karl Marx, the architect of socialism and communism long ago stated: “There is only one way to kill capitalism—by taxes, taxes and more taxes.” Better to recall the words of the Greek philosopher Aristotle: “The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.”
