Cuba's richer than, say, St. Kitts & Nevis? I'd like to see your source for that...

Or are you listing St. Kitts as not independent, because it's part of the Commonwealth?

Trinidad and Tobago is richer though (at $32,520 GDP/capita vs Cuba's $22,237).

I stand corrected.

And I respect your honesty for checking other countries after proving me wrong...

Only if you believe in the Cuban government’s numbers. Do you really believe that a country whose population lives on rations and $30/month salaries is a rich one?

I never said Cuba was rich. It's merely less poor than many free market countries.
What are those “free market countries”? Or do you use this term to refer to countries which are not dictatorships?
