LOL, California's economy is perfectly fine, as is Minnesota's, another high-tax state. Indeed, Minnesota under Mark Dayton's governorship has proven everything the Republicans claim about high-tax states to be completely wrong and bogus. You guys keep spewing nonsense that is simply factually wrong and has no basis in reality.
And American Progressivism has nothing to do with Chavez's pseudo-leftist populism, Chavez was just a typical populist strongman, a caudillo, who used the language of left-wing politics to get international support for his regime and justify the oil-funded largess he showered on his supporters.
