[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cubans in Miami came here fleeing from a communist regime in Cuba. They had their property confiscated and have seen the country decline for decades. Anything that even smells or socialist is a no-no. Democrats screwed over the attempt to overthrow Castro at the Bay of Pigs. Democrats did nothing when Brothers to the Rescue aircraft were shot down in the 1990s. In addition, Cubans are socially conservative and for the most part, one of the higher-income immigrant groups. [/quote]

Looks like Cubans are prone to misinformation. Is Cuba a socialist country? Can you list what is socialism and whether Cuba adheres to that? Also you seem to be saying Democrats policies smell like socialism. Please list Democrats policies which would be a socialism. I really want to understand what real policy (not GOP talking points) makes Cuban believe one party is tending towards socialism. [/quote]

1. taxing the rich to help the poor
2. single payer health care
3. many other "social safety net" programs which tax higher income earners disproportionately

[/quote]

Taxing higher and corporate incomes has always occurred, and at much higher rates than they are now. But some of you are still clinging to the incorrect belief in "trickle down" economics, which has failed time and again.

We do not have a "Single payer" health system, we have a shi---y system that sends lots of people into medical bankruptcy every year. And subpar health results. So, they'd rather die in debt than have free or low cost health care? I have relatives in two universal health care countries and, let me tell you, I'd take theirs any day.

Safety nets like social security, medicare? Where does this argument end? Subsidized food? Subsidized farming? Government funded roadwork, environmental cleanups?[/quote]
