Socialism

As the muffled cry for socialism becomes louder, it is time to review some recent history. East Germany was under the communist thumb and economic growth was dismal while next door West Germany using free market capitalism wash thriving. In 1989 the year before the wall came down the GDP of East Germany was $9,600 per person while in West Germany it was $22,000. There were very few cars on the street in the East and food stores were empty shelves and the West looked much like America. The same thing happened in North and South Korea and is presently going on in Venezuela. It always starts in the same way. Vote for me and I will take money from the rich and give it to the poor and it always ends up in the same way with every one being poorer except for a few elites. Here is the chief elite. Maria Gabriela Chavez, 35, the late president's second-oldest daughter, holds assets in American and Andorran banks totaling almost $4.2billion, Diario las Americas reports.
