Foreign aid...a transfer from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.

CASEY, DOUGLAS, Opportunity in Mozambique, Escape From America Magazine, Vol. 7, Issue 1

Capitalism is what the have-nots have not. They don't need wealth transfers engineered by the plundering governments of the West. They need to dump their idiotic socialist laws that smother freedom and entrepreneurship. They need to recognize and protect private property. When they do that, Westerners will be eager to invest there because it will be profitable to do so. That will result in new opportunities and rising living standards in the poorest nations on earth. This is not idle theorizing. Look at what Hong Kong and Taiwan have accomplished in the last 50 years. Those successes had nothing to do with the West "sharing" its wealth. Freedom, entrepreneurship, and private property were the reasons.
