The Root Cause of Haiti's Poverty and of US Problems is one and the Same

Get closer to the root cause of Haiti being dirt poor, which is that huge international corporations want everything set up according to exactly what they need for their profit making convenience in countries such as Haiti. Huge corporations don't want to have to "get their hands dirty" by competing in a free market with indigenous industries in countries like Haiti. They want those indigenous industries hammered and brought to heel if they are going to set up factories and other operations in countries such as Haiti.

Only on the surface have international trade and financial policies kept Haiti dirt poor. But those policies are dictated by the huge international corporations to the World Bank and the like and to the governments of wealthy countries. These corporations, in turn, are dictatorially run by obscenely compensated executives. So actually, the real, primary root cause of Haiti being dirt poor is the out of control greed of corporate executives of huge corporations with international reach and that of large shareholders of those corporations.

Similarly, these parties are the primary root cause of the failure of the US employment market and of the failure of the US health system. It's a small world after all.
