SHALOMANIA

Tax laws have a significant impact on charitable “giving”. US tax laws give wealthy people more opportunity for doing good — tax deductible contributions, foundations, etc. This is not necessarily true in most European countries’ tax codes. In addition, Europeans have more “social” systems where it’s the government that spreads the wealth, so to speak. High taxes, social contributions, generous unemployment benefits and national healthcare systems make people feel that they’ve done enough. Yet people in countries like the Netherlands donate a lot of money to developing countries and start a lot of projects in those countries (e.g. helping them get clean water). The press in the Netherlands does not publicize these efforts as much as the American press does for US-led charitable giving. Americans are much better at self-promotion.

Two things. One is that I could have said anglo saxon instead of American, the British are also into philantropic endeavors and so are Australian, Canadians, New Zelanders. So I am willing to extend this concept to the anglo saxon culture. Now genetics? This really seems to be far fetched to me. How come non anglo saxon billionaires don´t have those genes then?

The research is being conducted at a U.S. University and published in Nature Neuroscience

In my opinion, wanted to do good is not uniquely “American”.

Or more easily, just read the various pools to know which americans actions annoy the most the world, and then think about it.

Ha Yes, stop thinking that all the world is only poor little countries who only dream to live like American live. Many do not want.

(or arrogant surrender monkey… if you prefer)

PS: It is still good that many American spend money for many good project. Thanks to these people!
