I think the real problem is other countries have resource envy.

Did you even read the article?

quote:

Index of Global Philanthropy combines all aid from developed countries – government and private – an approach that its authors say is a more accurate measure of a nation’s generosity. According to the index, the United States is the top donor in absolute amounts and the seventh of 22 in terms of GNI percentage.

Also, the U.S. is by far the largest giver of private aid (as a proportion of GNI, not just in absolute terms), which is the only real measure of generosity on the individual level. Please, tell me how Europeans are sooooo generous because their leaders force lots of aid money out of them through taxes.

Read my second post, hater.

there was an article on msnbc or cnn, i forget which, but it said that the US people give more to private charities than the fed gov't gives to its people.

ie, the people are generous, the gov't is not.

mainly, i think, because feel feel that the private industries/charities have more results with them (i.e. red cross, etc...). where as everyone still has a bad stigma of "FEMA" in their eyes.

^^ The government does a lot of work in countries of interest. i know usaid works wonders in some countries and not much in others.
