"As you say "it is all about money" , there is little room for ethics. ps ,just heard that the US is against a proposal to supply Aids and malaria drugs cheaply to poor nations.".... Wait a minute!! I am against this also...why should I have to pay higher premiums as a result of drugs companies "giving away" cheap drugs to these poor nations? Why do I have to pay $20 for a pill and the next guy only pays $2 for the same, exact pill just because he is in another country? We have plenty of poor people in this nation also...give them the $2 drugs as well. Most people have a hard time affording drugs here...my father included. Don't go there...not ALL Americans are rich like you think!

It is all about money and the countries where this really matters have a constitution that allows certain issues and actions to be held accountable. Whenever cash is converted to other forms of paper, such as stock certificates, fraud and corruption are always in play. All of the other economies in the world are driven by the same things we are. Everybody wants to be better off, richer and have better things for the next generation. But most countries do not have a system that provides for and insures and protects property rights. This is the single most important thing a responsible government can do. It has nothing to do with Aids relief or providing any type of relief for the poor. If the poor had property and were given title a lot of the poverty baloney and bleeders like you would have nothing to say. The ethic is the right to property and the resolve of the government is to protect it, period. The so-called poor nations you are whining about don't do this. Get them to do this and then they might deserve aid for some issues, but it probably won't be necessary.
