We lived in South Florida for over ten years in the 80's. The ordinary Cubans were some of the most decent hardworking people. I have always asked this question, why is communism good for China but not for Cuba.

I always thought it was the upper crust of Cuban society, like the top 5 to 10% in wealth were the ones who fled to the USA. Because of their abusive practices and exploitation of the rest of society. A lesson the ones in this country may need look closer to.

As to the Cuban elite of Miami, they were deposed by Castro's revolution and they want to be back running the show. Menendez, Rube and Cruze are screaming the loudest since they probably belong to this privileged group.
