WrongDr Grump claims that American fiscal structure somehow "And creates huge disparities of wealth between the haves and the have nots.American have nots who have suffered the leftist-hated "trickle down" effect live better than kings and queens of the nineteenth century by an exponential rate.
Poor Demmies feel so bad about it, too.![]()
I would say the corrupt unions haven't helped things. Mind you, if the haves were more fair in what they pay people, unions would never be needed. If only those uber capitalists could be counted on to do the right thing. You do realise those tinpot dictatorships of South America in the 1970s and 1980s are what your Utopian capitalist society looks like right? 0.01 per cent of the population unbelievably wealthy, the rest dirt poor? Why? No govt oversight due to the super rich paying off politicians. Without safeguards that is what your wonderful version of society would look like. Great, eh? The Cuban revolution didn't happen in a vacuum. Batista wasn't a benevolent guy. Fidel wasnt' the nicest guy either, but to suggest Cuba was doing great under Batista (with the help from the US) is just BS.
And no, they didn't live better than kings and queens. That's like saying the health care system is better than it was 400 years ago ergo it's better to be a pauper today than a king 400 years ago. Comparing apples and oranges.
It is fact that in every measurable way Cuba was doing better under Batista.
They had a higher standard of living , better education and health care across ALL demographics
Batista was a corrupt tyrant bit so was Castro and far worse
