'Let Them Eat Rocks' Suggests Socialist Pig in Venezuela - The Libertarian Republic:
"A Venezuelan Governor Has Suggested Starving Citizens Eat Rocks And Sticks
...Yet, when the bill comes due for their free lunches, once social havoc has been inflicted upon the population by the policies of these economic ignoramuses, the hype of socialist leaders often turns away from “fairness and equity” and to callousness whereby, to quote Orwell, “some animals are more equal than others.”
And as bad luck would have it, we have Francisco Rangel, governor of the state of BolĂvar, to provided us with an ample example of such absurdity in a single phrase.
In response to widespread food shortages across Venezuela–a product of inflationary policies and price controls–Rangel had this to say to the struggling Venezuelan people:
“Let them take away whatever they want.
We are capable of eating a stick, or instead of frying two eggs, fry two rocks, and we will eat fried rocks, ” he said, “but no one can beat us.”
I wonder if Mr. Rangel has any intention of following his own advice.
Will he be frying up his own eggs while rocks sizzle in the mouths of “his” people?
Or, will he join them in gnawing on a stick like a domesticated dog?"...
