I believe in the free market, but I also believe in social welfare programs as well. Funny how you name those countries, but not Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, and etc.

I put etc, which you failed to notice. I bet you think those Scandinavian countries are democratic socialist as well, repeating what Bernie touts.

Do you know what Democratic socialism is? Are all professions paid the same? Does government make business decisions?

olek2507 t1_iugoxwo wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:40 AM

Do you understand the difference between a market economy and democratic socialist economy?

OpeningTruck2212 t1_iugpg8d wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:47 AM

Yes I know. SD = achieving social welfare programs through taxes and other things government can decide on while ME- is through more like entrepreneurship, basically free market

And we all know when you have a free market, you give citizens more options without government red tape, free to create their own destiny and better opportunities to thrive. Depend too much on the government and opportunities dissipate.

I’m not sure to be honest, but I’m saying if we all pay taxes, why can’t that go to the citizens? What’s wrong with providing healthcare to lower income folks? We all pay taxes the money should be spend on citizens

olek2507 t1_iugopw8 wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:38 AM

The issue is you can't trust the government with that amount of money, most of it goes to their sponsors pockets and whatever is left goes to the people.

I agree, that what pisses me off, but if we hold them accountable. Let me ask you this do you support in those services assuming the element of theft and corruption is eliminated?

olek2507 t1_iugpbrr wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:45 AM

I'm having trouble understanding the wording of your statement. Especially the last part. Can you elaborate? Lack of accountability and weak leadership is 2 biggest problems in governments all over the world. If politicians knew there were consequences for their actions, we would be living in a different world.

OpeningTruck2212 t1_iugpr27 wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:50 AM

I’m saying that they need to be held accountable

Not just in Venezuela, but all over the world.

Scandinavian countries are market economies, not democratic socialist.

OpeningTruck2212 t1_iugp3wi wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:43 AM

Which I believe that’s the right thing.

olek2507 t1_iugpfxc wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:46 AM

Ok so enough of spreading of this democratic socialist bs, it's not true and the dutch minister of finance has explicitly stated they are a market economy, not a democratic socialist one.

Love how silly you are down arrowing me. Yet you cocksuckers claim you guys want free speech.

olek2507 t1_iugo0ay wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:30 AM

You're also free to down vote me as well. Would that mean you don't believe in free speech as well if you down voted me? Lol

OpeningTruck2212 t1_iugornf wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:38 AM

I only did it when I saw you did.

olek2507 t1_iugp1rl wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:42 AM

So you're incapable of independent thought, just follow others around, even those you don't agree with. Gotcha, sheep. You played yourself.

OpeningTruck2212 t1_iugpk8z wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:48 AM

I just did it cause you did. You’re whole family is sheep. Don’t call me that little Goof

Goof lol nice one, finally, some original thought.

olek2507 t1_iugpnq2 wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:49 AM

You ought to do things you believe in, not because someone else did. That shows independent thought, which you are incapable of doing at times like this.

olek2507 t1_iugnqfv wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:27 AM

What does down voting you have to to do with free speech? It doesn't censor you like the Venezuelan government does and you ar3 spreading misinformation blaming the corruption of the government on us sanctions when they don't block food or medicines. This is common facts and easily found out with a simple search, yet you still peddle it. If you truly knew Venezuelans, you would know they all know their economic woes have nothing to do with the usa.

OpeningTruck2212 t1_iugo466 wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:31 AM

Obviously you’re out of it, I’m not saying their government are saint. They are in power and will do anything to stay in power. But you forget to mention the US sanctions, so that has nothing to do it? Give me break

olek2507 t1_iugohms wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:35 AM

I just mentioned twice that the embargo's don't apply to food and medicine. What i didnt state before, commie, is that the sanctions are towards the corrupt government officials not the people.

OpeningTruck2212 t1_iugou9n wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:39 AM

But it’s not an embargo, it’s sancations. Two different things

olek2507 t1_iugp59a wrote on October 31, 2022 at 4:43 AM

Sanctions don't apply to food and medicine, look it up. Public electricity and water is stolen by the government to sell to highest bidder. This is what people living in Venezuela, consistently state.
