Haiti relief

The relief effort in Haiti continues with the United States at the forefront. A recent news story got me to thinking about how countries get labeled “rich” or “poor.”
The article focused on how “rich” countries, such as the United States, bear the burden of doing more to help countries such as Haiti when trouble strikes. I wondered how someone could conclude that a country in excess of $11 trillion in debt deserves to fall into the “rich” category.
