Foreign Aid: Money taken from the poor people of a rich country and given to the rich people of a poor country. The examples are too many to list but two come to mind: Yassar Arafat had a fortune estimated at $1.3 billion and his wife living in Paris subsisted on a $100,000 monthly allowance paid by the Palestinian government - not Arafat. Imelda Marcos of shoe fame [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcUXtb1uQ8Q[/ame]has a fortune estimated at well over $10 Billion.

Being leader of a country that gets American Foreign aid is a very profitable profession.
