Obama’s idol, Venezuelan Progressive Hugo Chavez, has now taken spread the wealth to a new level. He is urging refugees from the recent devastating floods in Venezuela, to take over “unused land”. This is an outright seizure of private property and a disrespect for the concept of rule of law. This is organized government stealing and very disturbing.
Hugo Chávez has sent out troops to take over farms and urged the poor to occupy “unused” land in wealthy areas of Caracas, prompting a wave of squats that is rattling Venezuela‘s middle class.
The move by Venezuela’s president to step up the campaign to “recover” land and other property follows a housing crisis that has left millions of people in shabby conditions and affected his popularity in the run-up to next year’s election.
Squatters wearing red T-shirts from Chávez’s socialist party seized 20 spaces in a co-ordinated strike in the well-off Caracas municipality of Chacao last weekend, a move which shocked even some government supporters. Additional groups have targeted other cities.

Barack Hussein Obama is probably blushing with envy at what Hugo Chavez is doing. This is very disturbing and I fear it will give American Progressives some ideas.
