Travis...
Maybe this 3rd Time in Haiti is a charm. After all, and since America for about 50 years has most always and uncannily supported THE WRONG PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY (those most hated by their citizens) worldwide,...this time seems different. Seems like THIS TIME we're (pus others) are more intent on helping The People,...instead of the usual proping-up of a despised regime ruling over The People. Hey,...let's see? Just because "They" speak French,...doesn't necessarily make them all bad people.

Resume
Reading the new and improved version of the resume of the former dictator, er... president of Haiti, it almost sounds like a real success story, until one realizes the means required to get to the ends: started out as a priest, sworn to the vows of celibacy and poverty, became a politician, all vows of celibacy in animated suspension, and left Haiti as the wealthiest man on that end of the island. I guess it's good work, if you can get it!

Believe you're being a bit to harsh with The IRS,...since just like us those shlubs do as told, directed and/or DECREED by their/our rulers. Granted, "Those shlubs" are higher on the food chain and have infinitely more muscle and clout than We shlubs. But, just like us "They" must obey their masters and do as told.
Still, believe you're right-on-the-money about the arrogant, cavalier and greedy with THE PEOPLE's MONEY United States Congress. Someone should explain TO ALL SUCH that it is not THEIR MONIES that are biasedly and selectively toyed-with. Such are: "We The People"s" MONIES. If "They" can ever get THAT straight, believe that many of OUR multitude of problems could be rectified,...even though American Royalty and/or America's Ruling Elite might have to survive with less.
