Having apparently lost everything and with nothing left to lose, a Venezuelan police officer bravely stole a helicopter and used it to drop hand grenades onto the criminal elements which have enslaved his country. Oscar Perez is now the face of the rebel forces in Venezuela's growing civil war. One man's terrorist is another man's hero. The difference between which of these names is written into the history books has more to do with who eventually wins the contest than it has to do with anything else.
Venezuela is what happens when socialist governments make too many unkeepable promises to the marginal masses who have been talked into believing that they should be the beneficiaries of someone else's labor, even if that someone else does not agree to it. Those who can, do. Those who can't, well, they just vote someone into power to take, at gunpoint if necessary, the productive labor of those who can.
I know it sounds crazy but the US is simply a larger version of Venezuela. Our debt bomb is unraveling right now. Look at the BK of Puerto Rico and how the US Virgin Islands are teetering right along with states like Illinois. Look how the US has been feeding 10s of millions of people on SNAP and other government payouts, all funded with debt. Look how the debt of the USA has gone exponential and is now unpayable.
But yeah, I know, it could never happen here...
