That's not true. The day after the tsunami, my company had a tsunami charity drive and we sent money and goods. Money poured out of the hearts and souls of American citizens to that country and no one needed to ask. We did it because that is what Americans do.

Contrast that with other countries. All they do is bitch and ask for money and blame all their problems on us. I for one am sick of the U.S. being the punching bag.
