Haiti does not have a pot to spit in (ok they are really really poor). Chile is not a poor country and even said to everyone - Don’t send anything right now. Yes two different earthquakes but significantly different situations. I doubt highly that San Francisco was looking for aid when they had the earthquake in what? 1994? Anyway rich countries don’t need as much aid as poor ones. In fact, Haiti is towards the bottom with regards to pay per capita. However, soon the United States will be requesting debt relief for our country....I want to see that today quite frankly.
It aggrivates me to no end that these people live in a third world country while sitting in a virtual paradise. They have lands for agriculture, pristine beaches for potential tourism (parts of Haiti does use the cruise ships for tourism) but the citizens act like they are flailing in the wind when it comes to governing themselves.
Government is the problem, always has been the problem and always will be the problem.
