I see people say that the Castros would get everything as that the government would own all and take ninety percent of their salaries. Forgive me if I say bullschit and contend that such an arrangement would not last long. The Cubans, after all, are not a bunch of weak willed Americans. They HAVE actually had a revolution within living memory and I suspect that they would find the prospect of being unable to share in great wealth a much more objectionable prospect than sharing in great poverty as they do now. The Cuban government would be forced to share the wealth or go away.

Like I said, it never ceases to amaze me. The same people who on this board claim to be the biggest conservatives and anti-communists seem to have no faith in free enterprise and capitalism in a place like Cuba. They must feel as though Cubans have some sort of gene that exempts them from responding to market forces or economic self interests.
