“(Hugo) Chávez is delirious if he thinks we’re going to follow him like sheep,” said Ivonne Torrealba, 29, a hairdresser in Coche who supported Mr. Chávez in every election beginning with his first campaign for president in 1998. “If this government cannot get me milk or asphalt for our roads, how is it going to give my mother a pension?”
The same things can be said about all of the plans to give away “free” things like health care and all sorts of other goodies designed to sway voters.
If we can’t afford to pay property taxes and have to raise local income taxes, will pols promising all sorts of new government expenditures really be able to live up to their promises?
