He's done more for the poor than you even realize. Ever heard about the bill and melinda gates foundation? Dude donates BILLIONS every year to charity.

I am well aware of all the stuff Bill Gates has done for the world. Dude is a good liberal, which is why I used him, because if I can bash one of my own, imagion how I can bash on a conservative.

We have 293 million citizens.
293,000,000 multiplied by 46 equals $13,478,000,000. Thats 13 billion dollars.
Lets take Norway.
According to your Numbers Each citizen of Norway gives $333 dollars per year in "aid"
4,500,000 multiplied by 333 equals $1,498,500,000. Thats 1 billion dollars.
It's the bottom line that counts, and you're nowhere near the US in total amount given.

U.S. give $13.140 mill. to aid.
Norway give $1.517 mill. to aid.
U.S. have 65 times more citizens than Norway, yet U.S. only use 8,6 times more money on aid.
This means that Norway use 7.2 times more aid than U.S. per citizen.
Get it.. ?
Monaco have 32.000 citizens, do you think it would be fair to compare their aid contributions to e.g. Indias 1 BILLION citizens.. ?
No.
Of course you gotta divide the numbers to make the comparison fair.
Do not try to tell me that U.S. could not easily give $500 per citizen in aid, without even TOUCHING the regular Americans income or taxes.
Cut down on that enormous sick war machine of yours instead.
Why don't you pull out some numbers on how many billions you use on wars/military ehh.. ?

But let me ask you this:
If you had the choice to use your tax money on either:
1. Aid - Food, clothes, medications and water for starving/homeless people in development countries.
2. War - Use your money on going to war against e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
What would you choose.. ?

First and foremost, 333 per citizen is not greater than 42. Also, they give more, that's cool, but in the end, most nations actually love us. Many other industral nations don't, but almost every 3rd world nation is very much fans of the United States.

$333 per citizen is definitely more than $46 per citizen.
"Most nations actually love us" - Is aid a popularity contest.. ???

lmao... so America cares more, because they have a higher population? Now that's some bullshit right there.
Norway >>>>>>>>> America when it comes to this. The End.

I guess you don't realize the real world implications that 13 billion dollars is more than 1 billion.
Keep living in your warped little world stinky.

What a moron. Sonned and still not shutting the fuck up.
if 2000 ppl give me 100 bucks, and 50 give me 10 bucks, I pretty much realize the 2nd group cares more for me and donates more money per citizen for me. that's what it comes down to.

The US owes trillions to the UN. So there goes the footing the bill idea. And the US has the most influence on the UN, and the most power ful voice, thus it packs the most powerful gun. Meaning it will always lead the pack militarily.
