Dave Dave , Are you confusing this more

post #9 juliovideo -"and the cubans are among the minority that most contribute to the internal revenue in the United States."

post #11 bobabode - "Your claim as to the superior monetary contribution that the Cubans have made ("internal revenue") is mystifying to me.
Do you mean Cuban Americans taxes?or are you claiming to be the pre eminent job creators/revenue creators or what?"

post #16 juliovideo - " I was referring to the minority that more pay TAX in the United States by their income,this is good for us because it gives an idea of wealth we generate,and at the same time your entrepreneurial talent.

No, I'm trying to understand, and you're confusing me.

Are you trying to say Cubans contribute more to U.S. tax revenue than the rest of us do?

Because if you are, that is an absolute joke, my friend. You could all pack up and go home tomorrow and it would make little difference outside of Florida.

I do not think this shows total tax to the government from any group.

BTW your link is very informative: lots of History.

Dave, Bob, are you saying we shouldn't help them by bombing them?

I wonder if, after the Castros are dumped on the ash heap of history, true Democracy will rise in Cuba?

Like we did in Iraq, Pete?

I certainly hope so. After the Cubans themselves have deposed them.........

Then maybe we can restore true Democracy here!

First we have get our politicians and SCOTUS judges to stop sucking up to the corporatocracy. I just don't see that happening now that they can legally buy elections.......................

.......good question !

“In the world there are no perfect men or women, all humans are composed of merits and sins. Likewise there can be no perfect or infallible states or governments. The means to identify perversity and justice is the same in the individual and in the community. He is called just who possesses more merits than sins, and in the perverse the terms are inverted. The same occurs in the state and government. If in the conduct of its members merits exceed sins, justice reigns in that state or government, and if sins exceed merits, there reigns corruption.”

Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon

Oh, Chist on a pogo stick, it's you again.

Tell your people to grow some balls and depose Castro themselves.

More than likely the Cubanos will replace communism with oligarchy once again.

Bautista was a butcher by most historical accounts. Am I wrong?

There are men who live contented through they live without decorum. Others suffer as if in agony when they see around them people living without decorum. There must be a certain amount of decorum in the world, just as there must be a certain amount of light. When there are many men without decorum, there are always others who themselves possess the decorum of many men. These are the ones who rebel with terrible strength against those who rob nations of their liberty, which is to rob men of their decorum. Embodied in those men are thousands of men, a whole people, human dignity.
