   I've kept quite through this entire discussion but now I have to speak up. I have to agree with Chad on this one. I live in Florida and I personally know dozens if not hundreds of people who fled Cuba including two of my door neighbors. Most of them didn't even have a suitcase of clothes much less ANY money. I don't know who's been telling you otherwise but they're lying through their teeth! Where the hell do you get your news from? Havana? You should come to Florida and talk to some of these people. They don't risk their very lives crossing 100+ miles of shark infested ocean hauling money out of Cuba. Not a single one of the Cubans that I know are rich. Most of them would be probably be considered poor by our standards. They're just happy to be out of Cuba and in a (relatively) free country.
