Socialist Progressives

Allowing rent, privitizing businesses.

They need to use this new opportunity to 1) segregate the foreign tourist industry from the population economically (not everyone can benefit from it, only those in the big cities; redistribute any wealth from it to the rural areas) and 2) tax the shit out of the tourist industry.

This means, gasp, actually opening state run casinos. The tourist industry wants it, the cruise ships have casinos on board, just regulate it, OK, no harm no foul. The American people want to throw their money away, let them.

This means regulating the land leases so they don't turn into dynasty trusts that allow corporations a century to profit off of the land, put in strict regulations about the operation of the many golf courses that are going to be built. Tax the ever living crap out of these corporations so that their break even time is at minimum 10 years (that way they'll have proved that they want to provide a service as opposed to profit off of the Cuban people).

I could go on forever, but it seems as if they are on a precipice, and I think they have just as much a potential to embrace western capitalism because of it. This is, after all, the anti-embargo argument from the capitalist libertarian viewpoint.

Here's to hoping they manage it correctly.
