Re: WIKILEAKS: U.S. Fought To Lower Minimum Wage In Haiti So Hanes And Levis Would St
People should read up on the shameful history of Haiti. It has been intentionally kept impoverished for western interests. When Haiti eliminated slavery France demanded that they compensate France for its economic loss, which kept the country heavily in debt for decades. The USA overthrew and kidnapped their elected president. The IMF has imposed all sorts of harmful policies on Haiti, as it has done to many other poor nations.
Haitians should establsh policy for the country not outsiders with a vested interest in exploiting the nation's impoverished condition.
