The most morally repugnant argument in defense of the Cuban dictatorship goes something like this:
Cubans may not have freedom, but they do get free health care and education — as if liberty is just another government program, and not an inherant right with which all men are born.
Cuban health care and education really aren't anything to brag about. "In the hospitals, you cannot even get an aspirin," says a co-worker, who left the island more than a decade ago.
And of course, as a Sun-Sentinel story on the business climate in Cuba notes, Cuban health care and education, as run by tax-and-spend communists, aren't free:
Foreign businesses pay their staff through the government agencies, but employees get only a sliver paid to them in local currency. The government pockets the bulk, saying it needs the cash for Cuba's free education, health care and welfare programs.
And to keep spreading this comemierda propaganda about the Cuban revolution to anyone willing to listen.
