just as important as the % given. No, Denmark shouldn't have to
give as much as us, and we should definitely give more than
them, but we shouldn't have to match percentages. If a person
with $1,000,000 gives $500,000 in charity I think it is better
than a poor person with $10 gives $5. Recouping the $5 is going
to be much easier than the $500k (yes that's an extreme example,
but its the same principle)  RE: 175$ becomes the price By

understand. The comparison is not between a person with $1000000
giving $500000 and one with $10 giving $5. It is between 100
people having $10 each ($1000) giving $500 vs 1 person having
$10 giving $5.  To look at it another way, I am sure EU gives a
lot more in absolute aid than the US.
