Venezuelaphobia

A fear that using tax money to provide social programs aimed at providing a safety net to a country's citizens, i.e., social security, Medicare, Medicaid, instead of giving it to conservative billionaire cronys, will result in said country becoming a 3rd-world, rat infested, totalitarian dump. This fear is propegated by misinformation in the media about socialist countries, using falsehoods or over-simplifying for the consumption of dummies.
