What filters or Gateways do U.S. tax dollars have to pass through to get to the world’s poor? And in what form is that help that we send to the world’s poor? Is it money? Is it a electronic deposit to some Bank in a foreign country? Do we ever see where that money is being used?
Where is this money being used primarily? To prop up regimes, Warlords, or Dictators? Corruption abounds on a global scale and if you’re telling us that these monies are going to the poor yet, we always see in these countries that people remain poor, or that they are under fed, or they are starving, and their situation never changes.
What that tells me is that this money is not being used for what it was intended. So perhaps it is not a bad idea (certainly a logical one) to stop the flow of money. Instead of sowing into pockets of corruption.
there are other ways to help the poor in these countries and it is not money directly. it’s bringing tools needed so that they can provide for themselves.
