Re: Foreign aid - more harm than good [Re: ]

i'm not sure how that logically follows from what i just said.

Where did the money come from to build the roads?

if the population did not find a particular service helpful, it would be very difficult to get them to voluntarily pay for it.

You're missing the point. Certain roads can make a profit. The road leading to your house probably doesn't. Why would private enterprise waste time building a road that led to your house? Can you see how building roads not for profit but through taxation has benefitted us all?

taxation. there is a net benefit to be gained from the presence of roads. this is not to say that a net benefit stems from taxation. taxation is not required for roads to be built.

sheesh. if people didn't have roads leading to their houses, they wouldn't be able to drive at all on any road. it'd be like building high tension wires but no connections to the homes and businesses... try making a profit on that. in most of the housing developments around here, the roads were built or subcontracted out by the construction company that built the development. the cost of constructing them was passed on to the people who bought the homes. roads to houses do get built by private companies. i see it happen just about every time new housing goes up around here.

U.S. foreign aid isn not charity, and should not be viewed as such by anyone.

We don't give money to anyone. We buy controll.
