They call the death toll in Haiti a “natural disaster.” Not so. The real disaster (the high death toll) was caused by man. “The current tragedy in Haiti is not a natural disaster. It is a man-made disaster, caused by self-inflicted poverty — the result of decades of disregard for property rights, rule of law, and economic liberties.” (Walter E. Williams) Ever since “Papa Doc” Duvalier and before, Haiti has been run by men who care nothing for its citizens. They cared only for what they could loot from this poor country. Did you know this entire country has not a single fire station? How can
anybody justify that? They have plenty of cops and mostly no guns not in the hands of cops and government agents. That it has literally NO building codes (which is why so many buildings collapsed under an earthquake smaller than the last major one that hit San Francisco with minimal damage) and thus killed hundreds of thousands? People in Haiti are crying for the U. S. to “take over” Haiti because they know we’ll take better care of them than their own government, such as it is. (
