LOL!
Those sorta graphs do nothing more than say if there were 3 billionairs on an island and were the islands only inhabitants and they donated 250 million dollars total that they would indeed have donated more than Denmark citizens per capita and be the primary donating body of the world in financial aid!
WTF kind of fuzzy math is that?

It's not fuzzy math at all.. it would indeed show that the inhabitants of that island were the most generous in the world.
The thing is, the US has the biggest share of the richest people in the world and they still don't contribute as much each as each person Denmark does.
think of it this way - a guy that makes $500,000 a year sees a victim of a house fire and gives them $100.. A guy that only works at a fast food place and makes $10,000 a year comes across the same person and gives them $25.. who is the most generous? who has put themselves out the most and been more selfless? The poor guy of course.
Australia is in the same boat as the US in this respect - we don't give a lot compared to other countries.. even though we give more than twice the US does per person.. it's still not a lot and smaller countries like Denmark are still being a lot more generous than Australia. Theres no point arguing against it.. they're punching above their weight and thats all there is to it.
