On that point though. Everyone has been on Wycleff Jean's nuts about the "efficency" of his haiti organization. 36 cents of every tax dollar collected from you that is spent on a welfare goes to someone with some "administrative" role. That would rank them at "D" in the world of charitable organization.
I'm just pointing out that a "charity" to fix roads /etc would be ridiculous because there is already tons of money going towards those things, so instead of throwing more money at it the system should be fixed. Which also applies to pretty much anything there is a charity for. We can keep throwing money at problems, or we can look for solutions.

And the solution proposed at the beginning of this thread is flawed. A complicated problem isn't going to have a simple solution.
