I may sound like a complete ass due to the content of this post, but, so be it.
I do not believe that the United States of America should be helping Haiti for a number of reasons. I believe that rather than raising money to aid the citizens of Haiti after the recent disaster, we, as Americans, should be starting up charities and raising funds to support the currently struggling United States. I realize that this may sound rather harsh, but please bear with me; to each his own. The unfortunate incident that occurred in Haiti (and it was unfortunate) should be dealt with by the Haitians — no one would aid us Californians in the event of a massive earthquake (which, I should add, is expected due to the plethora of wealth within the Californian borders).
Think for a moment though over the situation: no one cared in the slightest about or for Haiti until this disaster occurred.
I have a hypothesis regarding the reason for this as well.
People have sprung up countless charities that have raised millions of dollars for the victims, however, if one were to watch a news segment on television regarding the incident, the supplies being afforded some areas of Haiti do not appear to even scratch the mark of, say, one-hundred thousand dollars. My hypothesis, for those still wondering, is that the charities set up for relief are serving the wealthy within the U.S. rather than the needy in Haiti.
