The more money people get, the less they want to give away.

Source?

Off shore companies. Some softer examples: Microsoft, Google, etc. paying their taxes through Ireland due to it's small percentage required. Also the chart mention later shows the people that donate in US. US. If the ide of taxes payed voluntariraly might cherish in the US, but what about the rest of the world?

Exactly...people in the US donate more. Who has the lowest tax burden?

Taxes and the government providing everything stifles charity and giving. There is an actual human need to give and it has been found that the happiest people are those that give.

Government stealing from people and giving flies flat in the face of real happiness.

You still didn't answer my last question. Also don't think that everyone thinks that giving brings happiness, my idealist friend.
