I'd check your assumption that the US in aggregate tends to be uncharitable.

While it doesn't tell the whole store, in financial terms the US leads the world in per capital charitable contributions (by a significant margin).

I'm thinking about quality of life measures such as infant mortality, life expectancy, car crashes (just pulling a few things out of the hat), policy on global warming, etc. Not charitable contributions but actual charity. Also, I was talking about charity towards our own people.
