How the government in Haiti take the money matter not to me

On the topic of Martelly intend to charge $1 more for every $100 you send to Haiti, how the government in Haiti take the money matter not to me, whether they take it off the receiver or the sender or the money transfer companies.

the point is Haiti is not going nowhere unti Haitians suck it up and put their money where their mouth is. Talk is cheap, those kids need to go to school and Haiti need security and an agricultural program, all that is going to cost money.

government get their cash from taxes, you want change, well change ain't cheap.

1 extra dollar is not going to make you any more broke or richer.

some but not all Haitians are notoriously cheap when it comes to donations, if you ever collecting money for Haiti you better off asking a non-hatians because Haitians always claim oh i have to send money to my family like other people dont have families to take care. so then don't get mad at the Elites in Haiti for not having a sense of philanthropy, that's why the elite in Haiti dont have charities like the Elites in the US, they have that same attitude not my family not my problem.

i still dont see how 0ne dollar 0r 52 dollar a year will kill me whent it can educate a child.

The topic is: Martelly intend to charge $1 more for every $100 you send to Haiti
