Its amazing how few people seem to be scheming on how to sneak into Cuba,
China or Russia, those workers paradises, isn't it? But why not? They have
free health care and the wealth of the country is distributed to all. All
schools are free. There are no rich oppressors. But no one wants to go to
live there. But plenty of them want to get into this country which you think
is so imperfect.
