"Reconstruction" following the devastating earthquake 5 years ago in Haiti has mainly benefited luxury hotels, sweat shop owners, and the foreign corporate elite:
How a luxury hotel in a rich suburban area helps give the 300,000 displaced and most impoverished Haitians “access to basic infrastructure” has yet to be demonstrated. Moreover, it won’t create jobs for those who need it the most. It is very unlikely that a deluxe hotel in the plush suburb of Petionville will hire many poor, needy, often illiterate Haitians who only speak Creole to work for rich foreigners. These people are the “competitive work force” and end up in sweat shops and mines.
What “competitive workforce” and “proximity to major markets” actually mean is “cheap labor for the U.S.”

This is exactly what people like the Clintons and their sponsors have in mind for the United States.
A vote for Clinton is a vote for the market state.
Update: Here is a report about some demonstrators who agree with me:

If I didn't know any better, I might start to think that the Clinton Foundation is little more than Bill and Hillary's slush fund.
