No, you have too little. I give more by proportion because I think about
what it means a bit more. Change society to encourage the behaviours you
want and you won't be relying on those like me who have indomitable will
and faith in goodness, you'll get more charitable contributions from
everyone.
Who here, if their income suddenly doubled (for those in the US) or
tripled or more (for those in europe) would not give more to charity
than they do now? If so, why not?
