Then the wealthy (and everyone else) will pour into Cuba, visit all the foreign businesses that will set up there, and 99% of the Cubans will get nothing from any of it. It's a messed up situation to be in, and there isn't a simple solution. Their freedom (whenever that happens) is going to come at a great cost I'm afraid. Look to their neighbors for shining examples of what will become of most of Cuba.
I wish it were that easy to ditch their government and open the place up, but it's not. It's going to come at a cost.  |
Yes, Haiti is also a shit hole, but for different reasons. But that is beside the point. There are many shit holes in this world.
What good is free education when you can't do anything with it? And most of their "free education" is no doubt full of marxist/communist/revolutionary dogma, revised history and brainwashing. Getting no education would be better than getting that kind of education.
And is this the "free healthcare" you are referring to?:
Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico
Free Health Care in Cuba? - Havana Times.org
Free does not mean good.
Cuba was better off before the revolution. Sure they may have needed a revolution but a communist revolution made things infinitely worse.
