To a amount,...yes, but Haiti is very poor. And i'm not talking about stuf to buy or money to spend. But to get a normal meal on a plate (and don't say we have to much(witch is true)). Health-care when needed, clothes to wear. Fresh water(not talking about running water). Education. And sorry to say Haiti is missing quite a few from that list. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/th...ok/geos/ha.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Haiti http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti I would agree with you if these people had an choose to make. Will we live like this? Or should be go and try to make things better. (example) some African tribes, The Aboriginals from the Aussies and new zealand. They can make up what they want to be, try to chase fortune and wealth, or stay with the older ways.
