Cuban dictatorship imposes new 10% tax on private sector food sales
February 6, 2022 by Alberto de la Cruz
As food shortages continue and inflation is skyrocketing, the communist Castro dictatorship thought this was a good time to impose a new 10% tax on food.
Via AFP:
Cuba on Saturday announced a new 10 percent tax on retail food sales, as the country endures economic woes marked by rampant inflation.
The levy taking effect Monday will target self-employed people and small- and medium-sized companies in the retail food sector, said the decree published in the official government gazette. These sales were only allowed starting in August of last year as part of reforms in the communist run island.
Cuban economist Pedro Monreal wrote on Twitter that the new tax will probably have two effects: higher food prices and more inequality among the Cuban people.
Monreal said it will hurt “lower income households that spend a relatively higher percentage of their resources on food.”
The obvious goal here is to generate more revenue for a corrupt communist dictatorship that has run out of the cash it desperately needs to remain in power. This is why no one should ever expect any meaningful economic reforms from the Cuban regime.
By its very nature the Castro dictatorship is parasitical, living off the blood, sweat, labor, and money of others. True to its socialists principles, the Cuban regime produces nothing of value and can only survive by latching onto a host and feeding off it until it is bled dry.
This is socialism in action.

Obama on wealth inequality: ‘There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have.’
Former United States President Barack Obama believes that ballooning wealth inequality is a threat to society, and that those who have the means should help those who are less fortunate.
“Right now I’m actually surprised by how much money I got,” the 44th President said in his address to more than 10,000 people gathered in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Tuesday. “There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough.”
EXCLUSIVE: Trouble in paradise? Scowling Barack Obama inspects the construction of his new multimillion-dollar Hawaii mansion and controversial sea wall which his neighbors fear will erode the beachline
Construction appears to be well underway on Barack Obama's Hawaii beachfront compound
Obama was pictured speaking to builders and architects from a local island-based building firm
The former President did not look happy in photos snapped of him as he spoke with the construction crew
Obama could be seen with his arms folder and making pointed gestures before turning around to walk inside
His close friend and confidant Marty Nesbitt purchased property for $8.7 million in 2015
Previously, the site was home to the famous mansion from Magnum PI TV series which was torn down
In 2020 it was revealed how the buyer of the three-acre plot of land used a planning loophole to preserve a century-old sea wall on the beachfront, much to the annoyance of neighbors and environmentalists
Experts say such sea walls contribute to beach erosion and can damage the coastal environment.

Now the Washington Free Beacon, approximately a year after his “There's only so big a house you can have“ admonishment is reporting he is looking to purchase a 29-acre property on Martha’s Vineyard, an island for the rich off the coast of Massachusetts.
This $15 million dollar “big house” has a 7,000-square-foot main house with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and two guest wings. It does not end there they will have an outdoor pool and fireplace, balcony jacuzzi, chef's kitchen, and a private boathouse that is housed on his private beach.
By the way Obama did say he believed in man made Global Warming. Apparently he is not to worried about it since he is buying an ocean front mansion. So much for the sea level rising.
Do you believe the people who actually believed this guy are now embarrassed and ashamed of their blind commitment to him? Heck no they will make up some excuse or blame it on Trump. -
