Well...yes....look at Sweden and Denmark....How much do they contribute to other countries in need? How many people do they have? How many of their people are employed by companies that are owned by individuals of their own country, and not companies from the US or other countries.

Sweden has about 8 million people, and Denmark 5. Comparing them with the United States is like comparing Arkansas to California.
