It sure must be nice to live in a Communist regime. Today the wonderful Fidel Castro doubled the minimum wage in Cuba. Doubled!

HAVANA (Reuters) – Cuban President Fidel Castro announced on Thursday the minimum wage would be more than doubled to 225 pesos ($10) a month from 100 pesos ($4.50), effective on May 1.

The raise will benefit 1.6 million Cubans who earn the lowest salaries in Communist Cuba, including farm laborers, plumbers, carpenters, bakers and undertakers.

Now Cubans can enjoy the fruits of their labor. One has to wonder if this raise will come at the expense of the second-to-none healthcare system.
