So all of those countries each donate more than 13 billion dollars per year?

I KNOW you're not dumb enough to compare a country with 294 million citizens to countries with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 milllion etc.
So if U.S. had 2 Billion citizens, would you still compare yourself with "big" countries like Monaco, San Marino, by measuring the total budgets.. ?

These countries ALL donate more money PER CITIZEN than U.S. and that's what counts.
U.S. still get taxes from each citizen right.. ?, like every other country do.
Or maybe you like to think that you give more, since you have 50-100x times more citizens than most of the other countries, and use it as a self esteem boost.. ???

Woodrow:
I still don't see how money donated per citizen matters?

The bottom line is the total dollar amount.

You seriously don't.. ???
Ignorance is bliss.

Woodrow:
Jome, How am I ignorant?

Would you care to explain your reasoning that the individaul dollar amount donated counts "More" than the total dollar amount? I really wanna see your reasoning on this one.

Once again, If you had a job that paid 50 dollars an hour, but you could only work for 5 hours a week, do you REALLY think it would be better than a job where you made 20 dollars an hour and could work 40~50 hour a week?
