The United States of America has been the most generous nation on earth, Steve, not least from opening its borders many years ago while others were closing theirs. I believe at 30 to 40 per cent, its citizens are the most-regular-church-attending country in the western world. Its generosity and social ethic is not pure altruism, nor should it be, but it knew that leadership, a beacon on the hill, is a lot more than equal opportunity.
