yeah as a percent. But percents don't get money, in this case the number is what matters.
1. A poor guy who makes $25,000 donates $1,000 - That's 4% and quite generous.
2. A wealthier guy who makes $100,000 donates $3,000 - That's only 3%, but its 3x as much as the poor guy donated.
3. A mega rich guy who makes $1,000,000 donates 25,000 - That's a pitiful 2.5% of his income, but wait it's still $25,000.
So my point is while by percent poor people may be generous, it's the rich people who really support the charities even if they give a lower percentage.
