POVERTY is a Business.

 First let "me" start this blog off by saying , POVERTY is a business. What are the methods, use to market this product? Pulling on peoples heart strings; by showing hungry dirty kids, adults down in out of "their"  luck, as a means to  make money.  Keep in mind , those commericals "you" see on television are not cheap, magazine, newspaper, billboard, and the ones you hear on the radio. Did you are stop in ask, yourself "how, much is this ad costing that charity /NGO's?" Yeah, I know "some" people just have a soft spot in their heart for people having a hard time. Did you ever realize or notice the language use for marketing  the poor, who are victims of their government system being gutted out, and privatize to death. Keep in mind, most of these so call third world countries, had their government system gutted, surplus product from the so call first world dump on their markets. I don't claim to know, every third countries out there but I can speak for mines "Haiti". Can you imagine "we" once had train tracks,  our own sugar mill, rice, flour, what the heck "FOOD" clothes,medicine and etc., but now, NONE all due to adjustment policies.  You see, News station are quick to make a quick plug for a charity/NGO's organization, showing horrible image of the country that muddy the image of the nation up. I believe this is done on purpose; I don't believe or buy this nonsense it's cause they care for the poor of another country "as" if their country don't have areas that need to be work on too.  Nope, it's a business, a real business earning hardcore cash. Most peoples don't realize or even notice that big charities /NGO's organization has got a serious marketing department, like all major corporation out there. You see, I grow outside of Haiti. I recall seeing "some" of the most horrible image of Haiti on television. I mean down out , sinister at sometime, as if Haitian had an inferior issues or something was wrong with their brains. Than I went to Haiti, for first time after living outside of Haiti for almost two decades. 1. I saw  loads of NGO's shiny cars , driving around. I mean they look like they just came straight out the dealer. I shook my head. 2 some of the location for "some" of these charities  was in the lux part of the town/city, with all modern accommodations. 3. They had a view of the Haitian "being" inferiors, you can see it in their faces and plus you can hear them speak of the locals like they are brain dead. So, much for helping the poor. They sure didn't leave their racist ways home. I find it to be funny, that these peoples are view as employers not Charities in Haiti. In You can find food for the poor notebooks, pencil and etc., items sold all throw out Haiti .  It goes like this : a store owner would buy the  items, from a middle man from food for the poor and sell it on the street corner or in their store. In once the media get hold of the poor business men/women selling these items; rather than tell the story. What they do is spin it so that Haiti, peoples can look more like the problem, when it's them. Beside all they do is make the poverty worse because it's their product they pimp for cash.
