The United States is the most charitable nation in the world

Something that, it seems to me, those of us who develop and offer Catholic-grounded critiques of American consumerism, individualism, exceptionalism, etc., etc., should at least keep in mind.  I can't help noting that some of the "Catholic" countries whose social practices and economic policies are often held up as models for the United States (France, in particular) do pretty badly.  I note also that the top 7 consist, basically (with one exception), of the "English-speaking peoples" (U.S., Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand).

It is about time someone reconized that the US is the most charitable country in the world. They do not call it a Christian Nation for nothing. It is in our DNA which God put there. You will also find from research that conservatives are more generous then liberals who believe that it's the governments problem.
