This keeps getting better and better.   First 22 m of personal giving -- now 28.    And, again, what is the point?

    . Fact: The United States has a great tradition of private giving, unequalled in most of the other countries with whom we are regularly compared. In 2004, private assistance flowing from the United States totaled $48 billion. This includes charity from private foundations, corporations, colleges and universities, religious organizations and NGOs, as well as individuals. It also includes personal remittances, about $28 billion. The U.S. government, of course, has no role in directing remittances, but facilitates these transactions through immigration and commerce legislation - AND COMPARITIVELY LOW TAX RATES!

Note the paragraph near the bottom of the article for a closer look at the truth Kevin:
 
The US is the largest overall donor with its $16.3bn in 2003. But this works out as 0.15% of its GNI - the lowest of any G8 member and less than half the 0.35% EU average. Britain stands at 0.34% and Norway is the highest, with 0.92%.
 
The US is far behind any of the G8 members.  You give a lot of money but you give so little relative to what you have.  Most developed countries give far more of their worth than the US.
