I see what you're saying if you're defining generousity as a percentage of income... but it just seems like an irrelevant way of measuring it for the situation.

I mean I could see your point if you were comparing an instance where one individual is giving someone the shirt off his back and his last dollar in comparison to some wealthy person who gave them a larger amount that was only 1% of their daily earnings.

But this isn't a situation of such drastic differences, so I don't understand why you're trying to make it out like that. Without actually running the numbers, I get the feeling that this 'per capita' difference for each person person is going to end up being a few cents for each individual in each country. It's a stupid instance to quibble over or to try to make one group come out as superior to any other.
