Without people feeling the need to work to make a living, sheltered by state regulations that are excessively paternalistic and irrational, we will never stimulate a love for work. -- Raul Castro, Dictator of Cuba
I hope that ends up etched on his and Fidel's tombstones. lol!
This quote is part of this article, Jobless in Cuba? Communism faces the unthinkable.
It's hilarious that Raul said this, considering that the centrally planned economy these thugs have been forcing on the Cuban people for decades is a massive, built-in disincentive to work (absent using execution as a motivator, that is). I guess people won't labor out of love for "la revolución" after all.
Sadly, there are far too many politicians here in the U.S. who think the same way, and they act on those beliefs to our detriment with predictable, bad results. On the other hand, I think I'll apply for the "sleeping in a wheelbarrow" government job when we get to that point. It sounds relaxing.
