All of the food we’ve sent down there, and all of the doctors we’ve sent there have: put Haitian farmers and put Haitian doctors out of work....it destroyed what little self-sustaining infrastructure they had. There was a time not so long ago when Haitians were actually quite self-sufficient, not rich, by any standards, but it wasn’t always the basket case that it is now....and all of the aid will only perpetuate it being a basket case.

Outside aid just gets stolen by the elite kleptocracy and allows the parasites to persist. The only solution is to eliminate ALL outside aid. At that point, the only targets of the kleptocrats would be the Haitians themselves, who have nothing to steal, and an incentive to kill parasites who want to feed on them.
