Are you saying people in Haiti, for example, deserve to enjoy living wages the same as their neighbors in the US?

The problem is with that word "deserve". 


Everyone thinks they "deserve" stuff. But the fact is that no one really deserves anything.

 

"Deserve"  a word we really should stop using. It is normal for everyone to believe that they deserve all that they have and many think they are so smart, so healthy, so morally pure and so pretty they deserve more. Humans do this because they are rather defective in their thinking. 


 A person in Haiti is as worthy as you or I are of living a peaceful and comfortable life, but no one gets to choose where they are born or who their parents will be or what abilities and disabilities they may have if and when they are mature enough to fend for themself.
