It is clear that the US gives more money than anyone else. But who is the runner up? Was this purely by dollar amount, or by percentage? Similar to the poorer people in our country giving the highest percentage, is there a poorer nation giving a higher percentage? Just curious. Dollar amounts can be misleading. Would be nice if were highest by either measure.

This is great information!…I think it should encourage those who make larger incomes to consider what they are giving percentage wise.

I think that people would give even more money to charity if the government stopped engaging in so much social work itself. Charitable organizations are great for communities.

Hey, Bob. Great article.

I found the point about the poorest people being the most generous based on a percentage of income extremely interesting. It reminded me of the story about the widow’s mite in Luke 21:2-4.

I absolutely love this. Maybe it’s just the bragger in me, but I’d like to believe it’s because I’m insanely grateful for everyone who gives. These are so refreshing.

I love the one about giving more to the charities than to the government.

I feel truly blessed. And even though I feel completely broke after the Christmas giving holiday, I’m already in the mood to give more away. Now, how can I pull that off…
