90% Guilt.

Amazing how you can put your political theory into the hearts of those who give.
It wasn't guilt that made me donate $200 to both the tsunami and Pakistani disasters (each) while I had to eat Raman noodles for a few weeks because I couldnt afford anything else. It's not guilt that makes me volunteer every other weekend to Habitat for Humanity.
I'd venture to say that the majority of American who give are doing it out of your miniscule 10%. And that it's the 10% of Americans who give out of guilt or other reasons (tax rebates).
