The US gives a larger percent of its GDP to private philathropy than any other country. It gets so old after every disaster that someone has to post a link showing how much each government pledges and the US gets knocked because we prefer to donate privately instead of having our government spend our money for us. Isn't it especially silly this time around because 1.5$/person doesn't look bad at all (to me) o_O | ||

A majority of the donations given by the US were probably made by the richest of the rich, people who can afford to give lots of money. I haven't given any money because my family is facing possible bankruptcy, and I've got to worry about where I'm going to live and how I'm going to eat over the next year. I don't think that the situation that I, and probably many other Americans are in, should reflect poorly on the generosity of the US as a whole. We've got all the wealth in a small population, and that population undoubtedly spurred our overall donations given to the top of the charts. How is America as a whole being non-generous? If and when I am put in a situation where I have a lot extra money during some disaster, there's no doubt that I would give donations where they are needed. | ||
