Havana, Cuba - Cuba's leaders have a message for their people: Stop dreaming and get to work.
Cubans are spending too much time waiting for reforms they hope will bring luxuries such as electronics and trips, while what the country needs to advance is the sweat of their brow, according to an editorial in the ruling Communist Party newspaper Friday.

the luxuries are like a microwave oven, if this is what Rush was referring to.
So does (the wealthy) Michelle Hussein Obama...
The document states that beginning in April 2009, electric stoves with one burner, electric frying pans, hot-water heaters, air conditioners and electric shower heads will go on sale. Other items such as toasters and deep fryers will be available in mid-2010, according to the memo.
Forget a military take over, just build one Wal-Mart and the country will revolt
Hey Raul...What the hell should anyone work hard for, if they can’t improve their lot by doing so?...If there are no luxuries that come from working hard? The lowliest illiterate farm hand knows that fact of life.
For you DU and Kos lurkers, here your real commie paradise
Like a “luxurious” flush toilet? Real toilet paper? Like that other luxury “enough daily FOOD”?
A brand new 1975 Chevy (so much better than the 1954 model)?
And the ultimate “luxury”,...FREEDOM to live your own life without fear of persecution?
What a load of crap! Did you read the part where the guy says Cubans aren’t willing to work for the luxuries they want? LOL!
10’s of thousands of Cubans have fled their country, come to the US, and worked like dogs for 5 yearss, and now not only own their own businesses, but live in homes better than the Cuban Communist Party leaders, have new expensives cars, and are pillars in their communities...
“Won’t work” my a..eye!
Right out of 1984.
Raul Castro has a deal for the Cuban people: You focus on hard work; the Party will focus on luxuries.
The luxuries are for high ranking party members and foreign tourists who pay in hard currencies.
Reminds me of the quote from Office Space when Peter’s meeting with the Bob’s for the first time,
“Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime; so where’s the motivation?”
Sounds like the democrat party - work hard but don’t enjoy the fruits of your labor. Special approval required to enjoy it ! Also sounds like the puritans !
it’s almost as though the people are responding to the incentives provided by the Cuban economic system. /s
Exciting, you mean I should work hard and not have anything to show for it?
I swear that when I saw this, I thought it was referring to the Sun Sentinel.
Libertarian ping! To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here.
“Cuba’s Communist Party encourages people to focus on hard work rather than luxuries”
- - because it’s good for the government.
