Yeah there's a reason they fled...
The country hadn't been communist for 60 years when they fled though, they weren't fleeing poverty. They were mostly pro-Batista affluent people and corrupt government officials who went into exile in Florida expecting to return when Castro was overthrown. Castro was never overthrown, so they stayed.
