The US is rich enough to be able to look after itself, I haven't heard of any Aid drives going on in america for the floods in central europe or the

We the British donated over £250 million to the tsunami appeal and that doesn't include the extra money donated by our government. The us Government
had to be embarrassed into donating money to that and even so still gave less per person than 23 other much poorer countries.
