A Cuban immigrant in the United States He decided to share a video on social networks explaining the benefits received by his father-in-law after emigrating as an old man and without having ever worked or paid taxes in that country.
“See if Americans are bad!”the woman said sarcastically when explaining the case of her old father-in-lawwho arrived in the United States after retirement age and whose rights have been recognized as a human being, regardless of having not been a worker or taxpayer.
Addressing her direct address to those who reproduce the hate speech of the Cuban regime and its slogans about “unjust capitalism and cruel imperialism,” the user identified in TikTok as María Eugenia Morán He gave the example of his father-in-law to explain the policies, benefits and social aid received in a country, whose system many criticize as “ruthless and individualistic.”
“He arrived here at 70 years of age, without having worked, without having contributed anything to the Social Security of this country and it turns out that he has been here for eight years and receives the benefits that you, in your bloody life there, from communism and ‘ snitching,’ you’re going to receive,” he said.
Among the multiple benefits received by the elderly man, Morán explained the monetary benefit he receives despite never having contributed for his retirement in the United States. “Just because you are an older person you already have that right,” said the woman, referring to the money that older people receive without income or pension (something similar to what is known in Spain as a “non-contributory pension”).
“They gave him his residency, he took citizenship with an exam in Spanish (they gave him that opportunity because here with over 65 years old you can take citizenship in Spanish because it is assumed that you do not have the ability to learn a new language). Look how bad the Americans that you hate so much are! ”She pointed out.
Furthermore, the elderly Cuban receives food stamps (known as “food stamps”) of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families through an electronic benefit transfer card. This card can be used as a debit card to purchase eligible groceries at authorized retail stores.
“With these benefits you have stamps to buy your food, you can rent a plan 8 apartment (because the American government gives you the possibility of renting it with very little money per month), they give you cash that they put on a card in a bank and he can take it out and use it for whatever he wants and they give him health insurance. He has Medicare, dental insurance, vision insurance, he had free cataract surgery… That’s right; so you can learn how those who you say are the bad ones work,” added the Cuban.
Addressing his words once again to the defenders of the Cuban regime, he called on them to compare Cuba’s Social Assistance programs with those of the United States. “You say that the Americans are your enemies, that they are the bad guys. Hey, with enemies like that, why do I need friends?
“Yes, you have to work. Yes, you have to pay for things, but leave me with capitalism and you swallow your communism. The communists of the entire world should go to live in Cuba, because that is what you deserve: to be there ungoverned and kidnapped by that murderous Cuban dictatorship that only makes fun of the people and enriches itself,” the Cuban concluded before asking for freedom to Cuba and say goodbye with a resounding “Patria y Vida”.
In your account TikTokMorán has several other videos in which, with a sense of humor and eloquence, he illustrates to the audience the benefits of capitalism and its Welfare State, a regime light years distant from the Havana regime, which these days calls on its subjects to “build their happiness.”
