By choice, through a range that is "barely enough to eat and drink" to unimaginable heights in historical terms. and all the
other robber barons you have in the industry, while under Castro you are.... Well what? You can't travel to the US? You are not necessarily always able to state your political opinions (which sound vaguely familiar in the US right now) etc.
Not even close to the US situation. Get a clue. A simple example, read Tim May's continued expressions on the state of the US. Now read this about Cuba: http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2003/05/67973.html Now, tell me that you still think the US is less free.
Repeat after me: Freedom is something that is defined differently by every human being.
So Cuban's choose oppression and no free speech, in exchange for freedom of slavery to credit-card spending on luxury items, employment and robber barons? Have you been to Cuba?
