as usual... only to find that apparently when the companies in question found out that the Haitians wanted a wage increase, they ran to the State Department and they got U.S. ambassadors to put pressure on Haiti's president.

Truly disturbing if true.

Really sick of supporting people from all walks of life only to find out their not all they were cracked up to be.

Would be nice to have someone politically that you can stand behind, and breathe easy knowing you can rely on them to carry out what they promised, or preach.
