Chavez: Bolivar is devalued, but will seize businesses who raise prices

Yes. Lazy people like CEO's who do nothing should get rewarded immensely, while hard working factory workers who are responsible for all the wealth in the industry should get nothing. Thanks for playing.

lazy people shouldn't be granted by a government the same lifestyle of hard working people. Trying to do that is why that country is financially strapped. Its a fail every time in history. Just sit back and watch what happens to Venezuela. Straight up socialism never works long term. Besides basic medical/food/shelter guarantees so that they dont die on the street.... its should not the responsibilities of government to determine who gets what.

BTW thanks for knocking my reputation down.. how is it you have so much rep power?

Chavez Says He’ll Seize Businesses That Raise Prices (Update1)

By Daniel Cancel

Jan. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said that businesses have no reason to raise prices following the devaluation of the bolivar and that the government will seize any entity that boosts its prices.

Chavez said he’ll create an anti-speculation committee to monitor prices after private businesses said that prices would double and consumers rushed to buy household appliances and televisions. The government is the only authority able to dictate price increases, he said.

“The bourgeois are already talking about how all prices are going to double and they’re closing their businesses to raise prices,” Chavez said in comments on state television during his weekly “Alo Presidente” program. “People, don’t let them rob you, denounce it, and I’m capable of taking over that business.”

Chavez devalued the bolivar as much as 50 percent on Jan. 8 for the first time in almost 5 years, as last year’s decline in oil revenue caused the economy to contract an estimated 2.9 percent, its first recession since 2003. The government set a multi-tiered currency system that Chavez says will stimulate national production by making imports more expensive.

They quite literally have the military marching the streets ready to forcibly take over businesses and Cypress is cheering it on as if it is something he wants for the US.

I thank the little gods that he is an extremist idiot and not mainstream America.

yeah... he wants the government to crush all the small business owners who would dare try to recoup their costs.

Chavez created an environment that essentially dares people to defy him in order to justify taking over more of the country. All because he promised the people the world only to realize that oil wasn't staying at $148 per brl.

Now he is in way over his head.... and idiots like Cypress cheer him on and wish for that level of government corruption and control for Americans as well.
