As for charitable donations from actors, no, it's not factored in, and I don't think it should be - that's one individual giving a charitable donation, which happens in many countries. Yes, I know, there are more of them in the US. But no, it's just about the percentage of a country's Gross Domestic Product being used for foreign aid.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306228378745291912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806401.post-34090907139201641632008-04-16T00:33:00.000+02:002008-04-16T00:33:00.000+02:00I was wondering if you know if this pole takes int...I was wondering if you know if this pole takes into account all the money that private citizens give. . .i.e. - I just read on the internet that the show American Idol just gave millions to I think it was Africa (I'm not sure of where or how much) or how much hollywood people like Angelia Jolie or Oprah give to foreign aid? And, are things like our Doctors without Borders aid included too. . .I'm not being sartastic at all, I'm just wondering what factors they use to get their results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
