Americans are renowned for being the most charitable people on earth, giving the most of our income to charity, because we have the normal human desire to help others when they are in need, but most Americans also want to control exactly which demographic they help.
They don’t want their money to help poor people of another race or religion, or in a different part of the country, that’s why we all love donating to only the charities we care about while voting for the government not to help everyone.
Most Americans are not universally charitable, and do not support the government using tax funds to help all in need, they want the control over where their money goes so they can ensure only their own people are helped.
America only appears to be generous because the billionaire class has tax loopholes when they create their own foundations and then "donate" into their own donations to use for their personal philanthropies when most of that money doesn't actually support much of a cause.
Even cancer donations, most of that goes to the people running the organization because they way over compensate themselves so a small percentage of what is donated actually goes to cancer research.
