Quite simple.
1) Media propaganda.
2) Financial support by US secret services -- many exile Cubans indeed
have a better life in the US today. Cubans are among the least likely to
become poor.
I'm not for economic isolation. Nor is communism (see COMECON). And Cuba
is practically isolated today. Yet it has a child mortality of a level
comparable to that of industrialized free market economies (8, if I
remember correctly, and the US got about 7).
