Corporate donations (so far):

Pfizer: $35 million
Citigroup: $3 million
Abbott Laboratories: $4 million
Cisco: $2.5 million
Pepsi Cola: $1 million (plus bottled water, badly needed)
Johnson & Johnson: $2 million
AOL: $200,000

(and that list is far from exhaustive)

Governmental contributions:


U.S.: $35 million
Spain: $68 million
France: 20.5 million
Britain: $28.9 million
Germany: $27 million
Australia: $27.6 million
Denmark: $15.5 million

You'll note that PFIZER'S contribution, ALONE, dwarfs that of France, Britain, Germany, Australia, or Denmark, and that is only ONE American corporation.

I am surprised about Spains HUGE contribution. Did not know they were so caring, but then again, they have this new socialist government.

You have to hate all those evil, greedy, spiteful, corporate monsters. Putting profit before people and sticking it to the little guy. GO GREEN!!!!!

The contribution from Spain is a line of credit.


edit: Don't mean that to sound like I am minimizing what Spain is offering. I think most countries are doing what they can.

how generous.

The Tsunamis were the first sign of the Apocalypse. And here is the 2nd:

Interesting link that lists where the money is going: http://www.usaid.gov/locations/asia_near_east/tsunami/

Not cool.

Give less, but don't make these poor people pay it back.

A country that claims to be socialist is giving aid BUT WANTS IT PAID BACK!!!! Friggin' hilarious. I thought Spain's money belonged to the world. Funny how Joe Spainiard's money belongs to the state, but the state's money also belongs to the state. Quite a tidy arrangement, no? And who is giving the most money with no strings attached? The evil capitalist monster. (*)(*)(*)(*) this stuff cracks me up.
