Chavez Blames Free Market for Biofuel Mess
Brutishly violating the free market by heavily subsidizing biofuels and mandating their use, bureaucrats are managing to create a food shortage that would have done Joseph Stalin proud. But according to socialist thug Hugo Chavez, they're not to blame for the unfolding disaster — the free market is!
Bellows Chavez:
The problem is not the production of food — it is the economic, social and political model of the world. The capitalist model is in crisis.
Sounds like he's been spending too much time with his friend Mad Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who comes from a land where rape is considered the woman's fault.
On a tip from mega.

Chavez, what an idiot. He could learn a few things from the CAPITALISTS in the good old U.S. of A.
We don't have a gas shortage. Or a food shortage. Both are in good supply (though they've doubled in price in the last couple of years).
How did we do it? By reducing the taxes on the wealthy. By letting the FREE MARKET move manufacturing jobs to countries where the labor is more cost effective. By forcing oil-rich counties to disarm (that one still cracks me up) and then bombing them mercilessly and occupying them.
TAKE THE HINT, CHAVEZ. Lower your taxes now. Stop subsidizing food. Run up an international debt and sell it to the Chinese. Get rid of your middle class. Un-nationalize your oil industry. And... what's that you got there? is it? looks like... Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Wise up, man.

Chavez is absolutely right. Capitalism is in crisis...
While socialism died with the Soviet Union's collapse.
Which makes Venezuela under him a zombie undead nation.
