“If you take all the food aid, America is by far the most generous country. If you take the direct aid, we're very generous. But when you add on our private contributions - see, our tax system encourages private citizens to donate to organisations that, for example, help the folks in Africa.

And we'll do more.” CountryHelpingEffortTaxesDirectAidsGenerousDonationDonate Author:George W. Bush
