I'd venture to say that the majority of American who give are doing it out of your miniscule 10%. And that it's the 10% of Americans who give out of guilt or other reasons (tax rebates).

You are an exceptionally generous person. Most people are not like you.
If those with real wealth gave because of their love for their fellow man, they would not have real wealth, they would only have what is needed to survive.
This is a truism not a political theory.
