its not logical because the country with the more money (ie. USA) has more expenses. I already listed the expenses but the biggest reason is a MUCH LARGER population to take care of. we also have a large government and many government programs. the more money you have, the more money you need. and thats not just greed. if you dont think we give enough money to international affairs consider the fact that we are spending $10 billion a week on our campeign on Iraq alone.

you can think about the percentages like this. you work for someone and make $2000 a week and give $500 of that to charity. I run my own business and make $4000 a week. I give $1000 of that to charity. I give more cash but it appears that we both give the same percentage of our money. but you are forgetting facts in this equation. You work for an employer and keep all your earnings. meanwhile I am running a business and have to invest half my earnings back into the company to cover all the different expenses that go along with running a business. Now I am making the same as you but giving twice as much. now who is giving more?

this obviously isnt exactly the case with government but you should get my point that outside cercumstances effect goverment spending more than just a simple 7th grade math question. you have to take everything into consideration when seeking an answer or else youre just left with a one sided opinion that makes no sense
