So yes, I do give. As does the Norwegian government as opposed to the US (the US pays out the same annual sum for 3rd world aid as Norway does, despite the fact that they have an NP over 60 times higher...).


I'm afraid you're a little ignorant of how charity works in the U.S.  The vast, vast majority of charitable giving is done through private, not public, organizations.  While the U.S. government doesn't contribute the amount per capita to charity that Norway and many other countries admirably give, Americans as a whole are quite generous in this regard.  There was an excellent article about this in The Economist some time ago that I can't seem to find online.
