This is a paraphrase only,
The gist of the comment was something to the effect that capitalism is not the great thing its been held up to be. Cuba on the other hand is better off than we are and socialism is in the long run a better way to go.
I would like to believe that he said this with tongue in cheek but its been said that the comment was made while golfing with Clinton Sunday afternoon.
If that's true, I wonder if he would like to give up the burden of all his wealth now as an act of good faith in the economic system he apparently favors. Course he should keep enough cash to get a one way ticket to Cuba first.
I'll try and get the exact quote for you, its available on the web.
