Quote by: rmnunez  As a percentage of the GNP, the US doesn't seem so generous, but if we considered how much more than anyone else's GNP the US' is (in those "real dollars") we'd appreciate better who is doing what for development in the third world. |
I really didn't think I'd have to use this analogy. Sigh.
John makes a million dollars a year and gives one thousand dollars to charity. That's 1/10th of a percent. Twenty other people make fifty thousand dollars a year each and give one hundred dollars to charity each. That's 2/10ths of a percent each. That's two thousand dollars combined, twice as much as mister fucking money pants.
Who's more generous? Who should be more appreciated and applauded, the ones who do more, or the one who has more but does less? Who should feel ashamed of themselves?
Is
any of this getting through to you?
