Why care if someone thinks you're "stingy" if you're not? Isn't the point of giving unselfishly not being rewarded for it? There is nothing special with what either the people or the government in the US are doing, it's simply an innate aspect of human nature. However, it is also ridiculous to compare how much money we give versus how much money other countries give, it's a matter of choice, you give as much as you wish and you should have the option to give nothing. If you donate to a charity do you first go in and ask what the highest amount donated was, and after you top that amount would you call everyone else "stingy"? I doubt anyone would do that it's simply absurd to think in those terms, so why is it appropriate in this situation?
