Castro's Cash: Less Is Definitely More

Cuba's oppressive dictator hates the fact that he is on Forbes' list of the wealthiest people in the world for the second year straight. How embarrasing. "Poor" Fidel apparently spent several hours in state television to denounce the claims made by the American magazine. The smiling dictator also made an interesting promise: he would resign if it turned out that Forbes was telling the truth!

Let us all pray that Forbes is telling the truth. The Cubans would be so much better off without him, and the world would be one dictator "poorer". It's a win-win situation. One might even say, when it comes to dictators in general and their financial wealth in particular, that less is definitely more.
