The opponents tend to focus on the potential side effects of foreign aid. The most critical problem has to do with fairness. Even in the most developed countries, there are people who are leading deprived lives. Therefore, such expenses will be unfair to their taxpayers. Additionally, the cause of poverty varies. Sometimes aid fails to assist a poor country in its development. Instead, it lends the people there an excuse that is, the aid may not be put to good use. Above all, providing aid without tracking its use may be a disaster. The aid, including loans and other supports, may be used for the purchase of weapons or end up driven up the rate of corruption. Personally, I think international aid compromises the taxpayers' interests in the rich countries, and may lead to abuse of the aid. Thus, it should be cut down on, if not stopped completely.
反對者往往把重點放在對外援助的副作用上。最關(guān)鍵的問題在于公平。即使在最發(fā)達(dá)的國家，也有生活貧困的人。因此，這類支出對其納稅人是不公平的。另外，貧困的原因各不相同。有時，援助不能幫助窮國發(fā)展，反而會為那里的人們提供一個借口——換言之，援助可能不會得到有效利用。如果沒有對援助的使用進(jìn)行有效跟蹤，援助甚至可能會是一種災(zāi)難。例如，包括貸款和其他支持在內(nèi)的援助在一些國家被用于購買武器和導(dǎo)致腐敗的發(fā)案率上升。 就個人看法而言，我認(rèn)為國際援助損害了富國納稅人的利益，并且可能會導(dǎo)致濫用援助。因此，即使不完全停止，也應(yīng)減少這類援助。
