Vote For Kodos - Moral Superiority
The United States has been accused by a United Nations official of being stingy with aid in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami. This despire the financial and military power fo the United States being brought to bear, and the significantly smaller contributions made my other nations and supranational organizations. Things to consider:
Sandra Bullock Population: 1 person; Pledged aid: $1,000,000
= $1,000,000 per person
The United States of America Population: 295,000,000 people; Pledged aid: $350,000,000
= $1.19 per person
The European Union Population: 457,000,000; Pledged aid: $30,000,000
= $0.07 per person
Hurray for European moral superiority, eh?
