I wonder if he is going to be slapped with the same taxes the "rich" will endure. I'm sure he will move out of the Presidential palace to live in a modest brick home in one of the communities.

Sounds like typical communistic/socialistic law to me

The poor will be entertained while they stay poor.

You wonder where he's going? Probably where his friends are. During the "inauguration" ceremony recently in Nicaragua where Ortega had just been voted in by the Sandinistas, and flanked by Chavez on one side and Fidel's #1 on the other, the chants all around were loud and proud:

"Death to American Imperialism"
"Death of American Imperialism"
"Death to American Imperialism"

As a property owner down there, I'm waiting to see what happens. Alliances have been being worked on over the last few years, and not all regions have been affected by the Sandinista influence.....we'll have to see how that ends up. Unfortunately, it's a waiting game, for now.
