Objectivism 1nc foreign aid is violent—it is based on the idea that individuals must sacrifice themselves for the needs of others.

“There is no question that too much… No. Altruism says: Yes.”[7]
the politics of self-sacrifice is the driving force behind totalitarian violence—those who do not willingly sacrifice their lives can be forced at the point of a bayonet.
Rand 60 (Ayn, Philosopher, http://freedomkeys.com/faithandforce.htm)
The socialists had a certain… to the antithesis of the altruist morality.
aid degrades those it claims to help—founding our relationship to africa on paternalism engenders the same racist attitudes responsible for africa’s history of colonialism and poverty.
Holdt 03 (Jacob, Creator of American Pictures, http://www.american-pictures.com/english/racism/articles/aid.htm)
What I saw - to state it simply… easily the most paternalistic racists.
people are by nature rational and self-interested—the ideology of self-sacrifice is unethical and life-negating.

Greenhill HS – Affirmative – Disabilities
The current US foreign assistance regime ignores the disabled---absence of clear Congressional mandate has pushed the disabled to the periphery of our social and political consciousness
Einat Hurvitz, LL.M. Candidate, August 2003, American University, Washington College of Law, 2003 (18 Am. U. Int'l L. Rev. 1189)
In Sub-Saharan Africa, the disabled are at the very bottom of the social ladder---they are subjected to brutal sexual violence, skyrocketing disease incidence, and physical abuse, all while systematically ignored and pushed away by legal institutions
Margaret McElligott, assistant managing editor of AllAfrica.com, 12/2/03 (“Africa: Disabled People 'at Significantly Increased Risk' of HIV Infection” AllAfrica.com http://allafrica.com/stories/200312020521.html)
Despite the obvious signs of systematic abuse, the disabled are virtually ignored by Western development efforts---poverty alleviation efforts proceed business-as-usual without ever taking into account the group that is the poorest and most excluded--- this causes a spiral of despair and helplessness in which widespread poverty and exclusion are a virtual certainty
Rebecca Yeo, Action on Disability and Development, August 2001 (http://www.chronicpoverty.org/pdfs/04Yeo.pdf)
How we think about those with disabilities is a litmus test for our conception of normalcy and otherness more broadly---the social construction of and discrimination against the disabled legitimizes a eugenic extermination of those who threaten our idea of what it means to be normal
Samuel R. Bagenstos, law at Harvard, April 2000 (86 Va. L. Rev. 397)
The construction of the ideal body and mind that is posited against the disable contains within it the crucial component that sustains all prejudice and disenfranchisement---the aff stands in as a confrontation with broader social forms of violence
Abby Wilkerson, Teacher at George Washington University, Disability, Sex Radicalism, and Political Agency, 2002 (National Women's Studies Association Journal. NWSA Journal 14.3 (2002) 33-57 http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/nwsa_journal/v014/14.3wilkerson.html)
The conception of disability as deviant and unworthy of protection spans both governments and academia---the aesthetic lack contained within the disabled body motivates a politics based around extermination
Daniel J. Wilson, Cultural Locations of Disability, published October 8th, 2006
(http://muse.jhu.edu/search/pia.cgi?action=resort&search_id=220100484&numterms=5&include_jstor=&sort=rank&show=100)
The eugenic gaze cast by the technologies of discipline that govern our relationship to disability culminates in the genocidal impulse---the institutional spaces of exclusion epitomized by current development efforts legitimizes state-sponsored racist violence
Bill Hughes, social policy at University of Glasgow, 2002 (Disability Studies Today, p. 60-2)
The medicalization of life and the biological degradation of certain segments of the species is the root cause of conflict---wars are fought and life is exterminated not because of a particular sovereign geopolitical interest but because of the biopolitical commitment to eugenic violence
Stuart Elden, politics at University of Warwick, 2002 (Boundary 2 29.2)
Thus the plan: The United States federal government should create a Fund for Inclusion that substantially increases assistance to people with disabilities in topically-designated area.
The creation of Funds for Inclusions promotes broad social openness to disability---foreign assistance which is specifically targeted at the disabled is essential to the cultivation of an ethical relationship with the disabled
Arlene Kanter et al, law at Syracuse University, 9/9/03 (http://www.ncd.gov/newsroom/publications/2003/pdf/foreign03.pdf)
Incorporating disability funding into the core of US public health assistance is a powerful symbol against the medicalization and exclusion of the disabled---the plan establishes a new political and ethical framework that can enable a global shift towards openness
Einat Hurvitz, LL.M. Candidate, August 2003, American University, Washington College of Law, 2003 (18 Am. U. Int'l L. Rev. 1189)
Explicit codification of the concept of disability assistance is key to effect an attitude shift within USAID and to galvanize human rights protections
Bill Albert et al, chair of the Norfolk Coalition of Disabled People and the International Sub-Committee of the British Council of Disabled People, July 2005 (http://www.disabilitykar.net/docs/thematic_main.doc)
Increased visibility of USAID programs in Africa is necessary to effectively mainstream disability assistance---US programs are the global leader in disability assistance and they are best positioned to strengthen local support for disability protection
Bill Albert et al, chair of the Norfolk Coalition of Disabled People and the International Sub-Committee of the British Council of Disabled People, July 2005 (http://www.disabilitykar.net/docs/thematic_main.doc)
Increased levels of Sub-Saharan social spending to improve access for people with disabilities are crucial---budgetary limitations prevent adequate African state support for the disabled
Cheryl McEwan and Ruth Butler, human geography at Durham University and social research at University of Hull, 2007 (Geography Compass 1.3)
Assistance that supports empowerment and inclusion programs can act as a catalyst that changes the entire socio-economic system of disability---the call for the plan serves as the springboard for sweeping changes in the way that society looks at disability
Robert Metts, economics at the University of Nevada, 2006 (http://www.ecomod.org/files/papers/181.pdf)
The US has over 30 years of experience in implementing effective disabilities programs---the plan allows the US to exert global leadership on behalf of the disabled
Arlene Kanter et al, law at Syracuse University, 9/9/03 (http://www.ncd.gov/newsroom/publications/2003/pdf/foreign03.pdf)
Increased American foreign assistance programs are the only way to alleviate disenfranchisement and incorporate the disabled into African society
