Aren't these the right stats to be using?
Explain to me why forcibly taxing the population and then giving that money away is charity. Of course I don't count public aid. That money was forcibly taken and is definitely not charity. Your link explicitly ignores private charitable contributions, which in my opinion should be the only ones that count at all!

The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
