The Cuban people have nothing left to steal.
A couple years ago I asked people on the island how they could just let someone like Castro run the country into the ground. All it would take is one brave person to take him out and start a revolution. Of course down there you don't even speak his name. He is referred to as the bearded one.
Anyway, now I see and understand. In the last 8 years, we have had the military industrial complex rob us blind in Iraq. Sent 380 tons of dollars to Iraq. The patriot act has been installed. IRS now receives every credit card transaction. and we are about to have a dictator take over our financial system.
We all know whats happening. We all see whats happening. They haven't even lifted a gun to rob us yet the wealth of this nation has been decimated right before our eyes and no one lifted a finger to stop them.
I don't even have an explanation for it and I sat here and watched it happen. I cant even blame anyone else for this. I didn't do anything either except call my congressman. It really is sad to see what happened to this country in such a short time. I remember not even 6 months ago thinking that its not going to be as bad as many here said. I was definitely wrong and now I cant see things any other way. Its over. We are not going to come back from this in our lifetimes. We would have to rebuild the entire infrastructure and manufacturing base just to get started. Then we would have to compete with China. Not going to happen. The only thing we really had left was our strong military and our strong dollar. We have abused both of those over the last 8 years as well. All we have left are nukes. And that's really scary.
Our politicians have no morals so we cant count on them to do anything right. Is there anything I am missing?
