Your point is to only see the down side, the bad, the lack of complying to whatever level you personally set. A miser wouldn't spend any money on anyone else would he? To call anyone a miser who gives more money than most is insensative at best and biased at worst. Judging people who do give is, in and of itself, an uncharitable deed.

If a billionare offered you a million dollars, an ordinary guy offered you a thousand, and you could only accept one of the gifts, which would you take? If our nation only gives 10% which feeds 1,000 people and another nation gives 90% which feeds 100 people, who fed more people?

Call it what you will, but it doesn't make you right, or insightful.

What was that phrase about "FROM each according to his ability, TO each according to their need."?
