I am really impressed at how many famous people are kicking in their own money.

Its amazing how many countries are rallying to get help to this region.



Hopefully this will not be a replay of Bam, Iran. Hopefull yhte money goes where it belongs.

Not that that's a bad thing, but what's with all the hurricane victims? Are they getting the aid they need?

at the rate people are donating money, they are just gonna rebuild the houses with dollar bills....

repost! about schumacher at least

bush was .01 million. i dont think he is nearly as rich as those others, he currently makes like 3 or 400k a year

No we never were. FEMA told us all to go **** ourselves, we can get a loan if we want though.



Assholes.

yeah i think the us needs to learn to help ourselves before others.

thats the salary of his JOB, but what does he take home in campaign contributions? i doubt he's got shumacher money, but he makes more than you think he does

is that a tax write off for the people who donate?

in the us it is.

any money given to a non profit org is tax deductible

i wouldnt think that he keeps the money but that it goes to the repub party. i know he has some money still from oil and the rangers and other things but i still dont think he has all that much.

in the usa. our tax code is "weird" you cant assume that its a deduction in the rest of the world. of course we dont care cause its not our money and we dont live there anyways

sorry meant to quote this up there instead of your post:







i wonder how much US tax income is going to suffer from all of these contriutions.

First off, poor people don't get elected president.



Secondly, the guys comes from a family of oil tycoons, he aint hurtin.

people will just cheat less, tax revenue will stay the same or maybe go up. this happened in NZ and the US, when the tax RATE goes down, the revenue goes up, because people cheat less

How much did Kerry and his billionaire wife donate?

It's great that people are trying to help and all... And I feel very badly for the victims.. But what about all the florida folk whove been smashed? California with it's fires? Where were all the celebs after 911? (I do know some helped...)



What about the THOUSANDS of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with NON-Armored hummers? We couldn't afford that but we can afford relief to other countries?



Sorry... Just ranting. Hoping a random attachment with boobies will occur.

most can only dream of such an occurance, but i my friend, have been there, and let me tell you it is everything you could dream that it is.

on a realted note, the gov' has donated 350 million.

the least percentage of any major country in the world



******* Australia KICKED our ass in donations, lol





Im not giving anything, before it happened they were living off tourism, sunny 90 degree day



this country has our own problems



what do we get from other countries when tradgedy strikes?

Lucky if we get a phone call thats not collect to offer condolonces

yes how much have the oil producing countries given?

nevermind oil producing, those countries are mostly fellow Muslims too...........

for rich and famous people I think its the "IN" thing to do to make yourself look like you care.

If I made $65 million a year I would go ahead and donate a ton when I felt the urge too.



It might be the same percentage of income, but someone making $32,500 a year donating $5,000 dollars would be a hell of a lot more of a sacrifice.....
