The US is:
* Doing awful per capita, despite having the most wealth in the world (per 2011)
* Includes church donations (aka. catholic douche-tax), though a portion does tend to get forwarded to people who actually need it, true
and the kicker:
* Has such awful social safety mechanisms that "charity" is the only way to help another citizen
hth.
(merry xmas btw!)

America and Ireland always do really well on those things because they always seem to count giving to your own church as charity and no one gives to their own church like the Americans and the Irish.

Some of the things that pass as charity here are silly.One of George Bushes cousins wrote a school book that was so inaccurate and poorly written that they couldn't convince any school district to buy them.So Barbra Bush bought 1/2 of the books a district needed and "donated" them to the school district.She got the tax break and her nephew sold his entire printing because after the school district already had 1/2 of the books they needed and couldn't justify replacing all the books when they were already given half of them....So in the end we paid(50%) via tax dollars to supply our kids with sub standard inaccurate text books and Barbra Bush is on the record as having made a large charitable donation,when in truth she had just screwed the kids in that district over intentionally to protect her nephews business deal.

40% is about right for the liberal population of the US. They'l take other people's money but never give their own.

No, because the rankings are different. That may work with your inane posts, but in this case things actually progress.

You cannot deduct time donated on your tax returns. Unless there is a special form I am unaware of.

I have no idea how their "numbers" are gathered or computed but they seem to be more than a bit off.
If they simply ask people I could understand how they come up with them...as many in the US probably do think it's charity to hold a hot dog sale to send their kid to camp. Or that charitable giving includes buying lottery tickets since some of the money goes to education or something.

I volunteer, but not substantially,, I think a lot of people in metropolitan areas usually jump on the breast cancer walks and those events. I usually do a couple USO events and spend time at the Armed Forces Retirement Home, I give to coat and food drives and toys for tots, but I give no one money. I don't trust people with cash.
