Does the Olympics really help the people of the nation that decides to host the games for that year. In many cases construction for the creation of these modern marvels create jobs and new economic opportunities. However what happens when the games are over? often these structures are not used and are left vacant. Another question to ask is where does the money go. Some of Olympic spending is made up from the tax dollars of the people. A fair question to the people who help create this enviroment for the games are is this a cost effective tool, where does the revanue go.
The Olympics do not help the people of the hosting country. The Olympic games may help the countrys inferstructure and short term job creation, however the money earned from the games is put into the government of the host country which hardly ever gets distributed to the citezens. Small buisness hardly profit from the games as well. In the end the Olympic games dont bring a ton of revanue to the people but to those at the top and the government.
