"Venezuela seizes US pasta company"

Quote
Venezuela says the plant, owned by the big US firm Cargill, had violated regulations on price controls intended to guarantee cheap food for the poor.


Quote
A rice mill owned by Cargill was taken over earlier this year, on the grounds that it was not producing rice at government-set prices.

Quote
Last week Mr Chavez sent troops to take over oil service companies including hundreds of supply boats, and two American owned gas facilities.

He nationalised Venezuela's oil reserves, one of the largest in the Americas, two years ago.

For some reason, when Barack plans for government to control banking, energy, food, and other resources, workers, taxpayers, and others will end up paying more.

Is there something wrong with Barack's brand for socialism for the U.S.?

In other nations, they government seizes/controls things to reduce prices.  Hugo sends free oil to help heat the homes of poor Americans.

In the U.S., Barack seems to take control so Americans can pay more, go deeper in debt, send jobs overseas, send our money to foreign nations, pay everyone but the taxpayer.  Barack's plan for change includes higher energy prices, higher prices on food, higher taxes, higher debt, fewer jobs, and no incentives to bring jobs to America.  Is this the kind of change American's believe in?

When did Americans become second and third class citizens in their own nation?

Who will stand up for the working man and woman?  Family?  Retired folks?

Something is wrong with America.
