When the embargoes are lifted, they'll see a lot of America.About the only Americans that the Cubans have dealt with since the 1940's were either mobsters and Mafia, or our military, which wanted to invade their country. I suspect that it would not be a bad idea for them to see the other side of America.
The Castro regime has portrayed America as it was during the Batista government when American corporations and mobsters ran Cuba. Batista had abandoned the Cuban constitution by allowing only staged elections in which his victory would be guaranteed and the US government actively supported him.
The Batista supporters, the wealthy and much of the middle class Cubans escaped from Cuba leaving mostly the poor. The wealthy and the middle class that remained suffered under Castro but the poor benefited. After a number of years of struggling, Castro did provide the people with guaranteed jobs, free healthcare, and free education, something that never existed under Batista.
LMFAO... Yeah, the poor benefited SO much under Castro, MANY of them could afford to construct yachts from '57 Chevys and old tires in order to cruise to Miami! ...Guilded Age!
Well, for example, if all you knew about America was what you heard on Fox News, you would probably think.....
Well, I am sure that where I was going with that....
