→US embargo on Cuba is not over Communism !: yep
*Unfortunately, such talk is typical Liberal [[deceit]]. Paying workers the normal prevailing wage in their country is not "slave wages" it is the normal prevailing wage. It is highly illogical to compare wages in a third world country with the wages in the United States, or UK, and then call them "slave wages". U.S. companies paid the going rate. Exactly what they do in the United States. The cost of living in Cuba, pre-1963, and Dominican Republic today, is like 1/100th of that in the U.S. Apples and Oranges comparison, and typical Liberal double-talk. --[[User:TK|<small>Sysop-</small>TK]] <sub>[[User_talk:TK|/MyTalk]]</sub> 19:46, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

:*The most amazing thing about this arguement is, he's got it about half right. Cuba is experiencing economic troubles because of trade restirctions in the US, as another editor has pointed. Now many with the same POV that criticizes US trade restircitons on Cuba will turn around amnd criticize [[NAFTA]], and arguing against [[free trade]]. As you say, typical double-speak.
