I guess you had to be there. Sure, the Maffia ran all the casinos and gave kick backs to Batista, but as a whole, we had a good way of life in Cuba,
there were jobs, and of course, i was of the high class. I say of course, because there was NO middle class.
I went to the finest school money could buy, and enjoyed a wonderful childhood under Batista.
In comes Fidel and he screwed it up for everyone- suddenly nobody had anything. The poor got poorer, and the rich had it all taken away from them.
Remember, the Cuban people had NO IDEA he was communist at first.
