Havana Man Cometh

From Cuba, yet another case of just not getting it:
The landmark regulations will change the relations of Cubans with their government and are a signal that market-oriented reforms, launched since President Raul Castro succeeded his brother, Fidel Castro, in 2008, are here to stay.
The recently published code constitutes the first comprehensive taxation in Cuba since the 1959 revolution abolished just about all taxes.
The story should have mentioned the terrible price Cubans have paid for their “freedom” from taxes.
Look at it this way, Stephen; Raul Castro is turning Cuba into a free market country, while Barry is turning us into Cuba. :-/
One of my buddies has a team ready to head down there to buy a bunch of old Detroit metal.
Interesting times…
