Citizens of rich countries may be self-centered and self-indulgent, but things are not quite as horrible as some would have us believe. True, the ultra-rich United States does only give a pathetic 0.2% of its income in aid.
富裕国家的公民也许自私自利、放荡不羁，但情况并不像有些人想让我们相信的那样糟糕。没错，极端富裕的美国的确只拿出收入的区区0.2%用于对外援助，但至少美国从未像20世纪前夕富裕的帝国主义国家那样对贫困国家收税。
