Let Them Eat Cake: Venezuela Celebrates Chavez’ Birthday With $100,000 Cake, While Citizens Starve

Nothing describes socialism more aptly than baking a 4 feet tall cake weighing 90 kilos for Hugo Chavez’s birthday (a dead man) while the rest of the country starves, cannot find basic necessities

The cake is a recreation of the “Cuartel de la Montana”, the palace that Chavez famously stormed in 1992 as an army commander to protest Carlos Andres Perez’s government.

According to a local newspaper, the following ingredients were used :

1. 720 eggs
2. 23 kilos of butter
3. 90 kilos of flour
4. 90 kilos of sugar
5. 44 gallons of milk                                                                                     

 with the state sponsored food program. Evidently, the government’s priorities are elsewhere.
