I remember seeing a piece on Haiti decades ago.
The govt. over there is more corrupt than in the USA.
We evidently went there, and attempted to start programs that taught them to farm for themselves.
We had to bribe people with food, just to have them participate. In the end, there was no interest by anyone to "do for themselves"
A large part of this could be from the fact that the govt., at any time, can bust into your mud hut, and help themselves to anything they want.
I believe it ruins any chance of someone wanting to get ahead...
