    Spreading the wealth around

    where do you draw the line?? how much is enough??

    They start over after all is lost in Africa

    The seizures wrecked the country's agricultural infrastructure, leading to extensive food shortages and stratospheric inflation. The United Nations estimates that 1 million people have lost their livelihoods and homes as a result of the redistribution.
    the good news is the evil rich bastards got what they had coming to them for exploiting the working class

    So now we're comparing Obama to Mugabe? That sounds about right.

    I like black pugs and I cannot lie...

    If that's the conclusion you want to draw, go ahead. My point was "where do you draw the line" and this story is an extreme example of wealth re-distribution.

    No comparisons to Mugabe were made...but hey now that you brought it up Obama did campaign for and make a large contribution (about $950,000) to Raila Odinga in Kenya, who after losing what he claimed to be a rigged election incited violence that killed over 1200 to get an appointment as Prime Minister.
