Definition of Foreign Aid (very clever)

[NAO]

"Foreign Aid is when the poor people in rich countries give money to the rich people in poor countries."

- Michael Parenti, in his excellent book "Against Empire"

1. Actually,

it is when "rich" countries pay a little on their arrears
so a "poor" country will continue sending them goods (for almost free.)

But I like your definition better.
In both cases,
keeping the poor poor is what makes the rich rich.
