We made the conscious decision not to send a penny to Haiti after the earthquake. The country was a failed state before the hurricane and if you thought the rulers of that country were going to pass on all the aid money to the victims, you're crazy. And now they have just had the usual illegal elections, with stuffed ballot boxes, people denied the right to vote, others voting many times and entire polling stations burned to the ground. The riots going on now are being blamed on people upset that democracy has been trampled upon. Come on, do you think starving people are worrying about the rule of law and lawful election practices!!?? No, they're looting to get food and aid that has been denied them. Oh yes, and then there is the cholera epidemic. It's sad to watch property just re-built being trashed and destroyed. Yes folks, these are your aid dollars at work.
Did you know that in the 18th century, Haiti was the richest country per capita in the entire world?
