THE WAY SOCIALISM SUCEEDED IN; WAS THROUGH THE TAX CODE. DEVALUATION OF THE VENEZUELAN CURRENCY; FAILED LAND REFORM THAT ENCOURAGED SQUATTING AND UNDERMINED THE PROPERTY RIGHTS OF LAND OWNERS; THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER BASEDON POSITIVE RIGHTS AND AN ACTIVE ROLE FOR THE VENEZUELAN STATE IN ECONOMIC AFFAIRS; CONSIDERABLE TAX HIKES WITH INCOME TAX RATES TRIPLING TO 36%, SPENDING INCREASING WITH INCREASED REVENUE, AND GENERATING FISCAL DEFICITS. BECAUSE OF IT'S OUT OF
CONTROL SOCIAL PROGRAMS; AND IF ELECTIONS ARE FRAUDULENT OR RIGGED, FALLOUT CAN HAPPEN IN UNANTICIPATED WAYS. VENEZUELA IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE. DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
