Progressive/liberal/socialism Venezuela style

The "socialist government" knows best, this is where America is headed progressive/liberal/socialism. Send this to your liberal friends. (I don't have any liberal friends. )

One of the top oil producing countries in the world can't feed it's people. Makes one wonder how many filthy rich socialist government workers there are in that country. Want to bet the fingerprinting does not apply to the Venezuelan government......

This is how democrats/progressive/liberal/socialism works.


Venezuela Will Begin Fingerprinting Grocery Shoppers To Control How Much Food They Buy

Published August 22, 2014/
Fox News Latino

CARACAS, Venezuela – Venezuela's food shortage is so bad the country is mandating that people scan their fingerprints at grocery stores in order to keep people from buying too much of a single item.

President Nicolas Maduro says a mandatory fingerprinting system is being implemented at grocery stores to combat food shortages. He calls it an "anti-fraud system" like the fingerprint scan the country uses for voting.

In announcing the plan late Wednesday, Maduro did not say when the system would take effect, but other administration officials suggested it could be in place by December or January.

The move was met with skepticism. Critics said the new system is tantamount to rationing and constitutes a breach of privacy. Others simply wondered if anything short of a systemic overhaul of the economy could help the socialist South American country's chronically bare shelves.

How quickly everyone forgets. I remember pictures like these when I was a kid back in the 80's.

President Maduro is a big guy, and I am guessing that like most socialist presidents his cupboard will never be bare.
