Americans donated about 300 billion dollars to charities last year and put in about 8 billion volunteer hours. Either in raw numbers or per capita, Americans are the most generous people in the world.
Pretty hard to make the ‘selfish’ tag stick.

No, and that is said to be why he beats his wife with a sausage.
So, where does the polish come in? Is it furniture polish, shoe polish, silver polish...?
