Strange to think of it in percents, as if there isn’t, in the first world, a standard of living floor below which one requires rather than owes charity.
If I’ve lived on 10% of Singers net income, how can my better-or-less-than moral status then depend on how much more I earn that I then can give from? It doesn’t feel right as a calculation.
