Actually as a pecentage of its GNP, the USA helps the LEAST amongst developed nations.

With countries like Norway and Sweden helping the most.

(If I remember correctly it's 1% for Norway and Sweden, USA is actually on par with Japan if I remember correctly at 0.035%. Also figures might have changed since I last looked at them)
