Without commenting on anything else said by msmith, at #466 she said that Americans are more generous, giving more in charity. There were responses that other countries give more per capita in foreign aid. The two things are completely different, although it is quite interesting that some people conflate individuals making voluntary contributions of their disposable income to charity, with politicians using taxpayer money to fund foreign aid projects, many of which are for the primary benefit of donor-country businesses.
Foreign aid has been called "money given by poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries."
