This html Article about Aristide states:
"The misappropriated funds were frequently diverted and laundered through fictitious companies, established for this purpose by Aristide and his accomplices, both in Haiti and the United States,'' the lawsuit said.
``Aristide and his accomplices stole tens of millions of dollars from the public treasury and transferred a portion of those funds to the United States.'' if this is true the petit VOLEUR Aristide should be PROSECUTED.
BUT I DOUBT IF THEIR IS A MONEY TRAIL TO BE FOLLOWED AFTER ALL those Haitian GOVERNMENT THIEVES are getting better and better at this every year.
A. First they accuse those who have been paying ALL THE TAXES in Haiti of not paying their taxes or not paying enough.
As if the middle class Bourgeois were created to pay for the other 8million people who have never paid any taxes for decades or centuries from generations to generations.
Yet they all seem to have money for voudou ceremonies.
Those lois must be death, blind, and dumb too.
B. Then someone wrote this absurdity : that "Those Haitian business owners should invest their money" with those same corrupted government thieves who have been poaching on their possessions and families for the past 50 years.
That's laughable.
That may have worked for Asia where there is a code of honor and contracts are guaranteed and enforced.
Not in Haiti where your hard earned money would take a flight to a private foreign bank account before the ink on your contract dries up.
C. I read the other day another comment that those who own businesses in Haiti have a monopoly that's why their port fees are so high,( the highest in the world in fact) When the government raise the port taxes on imports on a weekly or daily basis, those who are in business to make a profit will also raise their prices to defray their operating cost period.The extra cost is passed on to the customers and consumers.
There is NO MONOPOLY in Haiti.
I have many family members who used to own their own businesses in Haiti.
If a person cannot operate his own business in Haiti, he or she either do not have enough knowledge of commerce, or cannot offer a better product or a service at competitive prices Perhaps the person do not have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.
Its hard work 6 to 7 days per week.
Even if a person inherit the business from a parent, he or she still have to invest and reinvest to keep the business solvent.and profitable.
Its easy for someone to sit behind their computer screen and criticize those who are successful in Haiti, while they have chosen to work for others for 40 hours per week.
Aristide used to criticize the Bourgeois but he did not want to work hard for his money like many others in the Haitian government he preferred to STEAL EVERYTHING in sight.
D. Someone wrote the middle class should educate the mass population.
That's the government job to educate those who cannot afford to pay for school base on the taxes they collected.
But most of those children parents have never paid taxes.
E. I saw an advertisement the other day for the BONIFACE FOUNDATION in Oprah's magazine supposedly for tree planting and clean water and other charitable work.
It its THE SAME BONIFACE person I AM THINKING ABOUT I bet only 1/4 of the total amount if any will go towards those charities.
Most will probably go to his family.Bad habits are hard to die. They are passed on from one generation to the next.
You know the something for nothing game.
VIVA HAITI INDEED,
Ps: whoever said the ports were tax free in Haiti, next time when you do not know something SHUT THE HELL UP.
