  1. They already did that tax-the-rich routine in 2015. Only to scrap it when they lost too many of their best and brightest.
    2
  2. And in turn create shortages.

  3.  @MrDgo4life  And how are those public hospitals working out for Venezuela?
    2
  4.  @crazyjackfr  Because of immigrants, not the native French.
    2
  5. But at least those essential workers will still have a job in 10 years while someone kicking balls most likely won't.

  6.  @JonasWilms  And it's an even easier decision to pander to the poor. Economic sustainability be damned! See Greece and Venezuela.

  7. Due to its pride.
    2
  8. Namely that imposed by Maduro on his own people.
    2
  9. By what? Making everyone poor? If so, then the government has already lived up to its socialist name.
    2
  10. <Why is supply not growing? Are investors not willing to make money?> Government meddling making things time-consuming and costly ensuring that only the richest of the rich can supply.

  11. Better than socialism and being a prisoner in your own country.
    2
  12.  @snizami  And make the country poorer in the long run. Taxing "the rich" is not a sustainable solution given how wasteful governments and a lot of average people are.
    2
  13. At future generations' expense.
    2
  14. Socialism did Greece in.
    2
  15.  @johney3734  Tell that to the people of Gibraltar.
    2
  16. No. It's due to political greed and overspending while killing local productivity.
    2
  17.  @andrevanas85  Like Zimbabwe.
    2
  18. Miami is in North America.
    2
  19. That's on the Portuguese government.
    2
  20.  @SimbaM2kufu  Only 6% of Puerto Ricans even want independence to begin with. And it doesn't help that 51% of the population depend on social assistance from Washington.
    2
  21. @Tim Turko No. Venezuela needs a change in government and model, because the current socialist one does not work.
    2
  22.  @henryang8103  There is no such thing as a common good in a democracy where most people vote for their own personal benefit, society and treasury be damned!

  23.  @keterscp1064  Iif it wasn't for EU membership, Spain would have been on par with its Latin American colonies.
    2
  24. Sisi? I thought it was Morsi.
    2
  25. And the country had a woman in charge at the time.
    2
  26. Its economic reform was capitalist due to Deng.
    2
  27. High taxes have a weird way of protecting the rich and big business.
    2
  28. But governments and some locals need that foreign investment.
    2
  29.  @neverlookback1244  Italy and Spain are among the PIIGS.
    2
  30. Thank your government for that.
    2
  31. Exactly.
    2
  32. @calmMusic Not really. Learn the language of the land or find somewhere else to live and work in.
    2
  33.  @lewis123417  Exactly.
    2
  34. Fascism is socialism as well. Peru just ousted one communist for another communist.
    2
  35.  @rebeccahenderson7761  Follow your own advice.
    2
  36. LOL. Yes they should and too F---ing bad for Egypt. Let Ethiopia enjoy its dam in peace.
    2
  37. Sri Lanka is not the EU or USA's problem. Why don't they ask China for help? OH WAIT! They already did with the loans. Who knew that the help wasn't free?
    2
  38. But there's barely anything capitalist about Portugal, though.
    2
  39.  @matiasgomez9340  LOL. Nice joke, comrade!
    2
  40. You have a far-left government in charge now.
    2
  41.  @hellomycating  First abolish rent control that enabled their existence.
    2
  42. Pretty much. And they went bankrupt because they couldn't afford the easy life that had to be paid for by debt and German taxpayers to compensate for the lack of local industry.
    2
  43. With approval of the Portuguese government.
    2
  44.  @roybatty6857  Also welfare states.
    2
  45. Extreme rents due to government restrictions on supply while artificially propping demand through lax immigration laws.
    2
  46.  @nebraskannationalist6363  How do you do that in a one-party state?
    2
  47.  @prototype6663  If so, then why did Russia have to forcibly annex them?
    2
  48.  @robb1324  I'm willing to bet a lot of them live beyond their means. Never mind the high taxes.
    2
  49. Does Sweden, France, UK, Ireland, etc. ring a bell?
    2
  50. The rich save and (especially) invest while the poor spend all they have.
