Not arguing with that statement - just curious but when you say rich "give less" what do you class as' rich' ? Anyone earning over.....? "Giving less".... Do you mean overall or average per person?

I think the figures would probably show that, as a percentage of income, the rich donate less than middle income earners and looking at income groups the higher the income the fewer who donate (particularly in America). However those that do , particularly the hyper rich e.g. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett donate more in one year than the total donations made by thousands if not millions of middle/low income households do in a lifetime.

I think if you got the statement from reading the Guardian it is far less black and white. Whatever, regardless of how much or how little anyone gives , and given middle and low income donations, IMO, are more genuine as they are not, as is the case of some rich donations accountancy driven e.g. tax deductible and so less altruistic , all should be applauded.

EDIT: forgot to mention. Some large corporations (Like the one I used to work) for operate G.A.Y.E (give as you earn) which was a tax efficient way of donating since it was deducted monthly pre tax and the company matched your donation. So in effect shareholders (many rich) are donating as , obviously the matched amount/ and admin costs impacts on company profit in spite of being tax efficient for the company. I bet that doesn't show up in many calculations

I know 5hat as a proportion of their wealth the poorer you are the more you give. I haven't got the statistics to hand.

Anyhow I hope that the money donated helps findo the pilot.

Me neither how much do people expect him to donate? How much should he a couple 100k a few million? Jesus the kid has given money he never had to and seems some still aren't happy.
