Also, someone needs to explain to me why comparisons based on GDP or per capita are valid? Just because someone puts together a chart using those figures? While it is an interesting statistic that displays "potential" or "capacity" for giving, it does NOT demonstrate ACTUAL giving.
What does demonstrate that? The final totals - which show that the US, and then Australia, gave the most.
It's not like charity is a contest or a race either. While there are foreign policy motivations in government aid, making charitable giving out to be like a contest or race is incredibly cheapening to the whole act.
