2. There is a lot of wealth in America to fix a lot of wrongs both foreign and |

3. We didn't even rebuild New Orleans |

Haiti means nothing to the US corporate states of America unless it can make them some money. since slavery is illegal, they cannot send slave ships anymore. altho Im sure they would if they could.
