For someone who sets value on a reliable source, this link is not the best example, a Wikipedia article based on two sources, OECD and globalhumanitarianassistance.org which have an invalid link and are non existing page.
According to OECD the USA gave total the most because they have the most citizens. You take place 19 by percentage of GNI. Place 19 from 23 member counties isn?t that good.

On what is that based on? You could try to adorn yourself with borrowed plumes. If a few Bill Gates/Hollywood Stars donate huge amounts you can reach good statistics per citizen, but it says nothing about your social charity per citizen.
You try to show how charitable and social the USA and it citizens are and base it on maybe a few amply individual donations. Then you say how many foreigner it would take to equal 1 American donation. Isn't that a bit arrogant?
