Those people who were “too full of themselves” might have their own problems, and they might also donate in other places unseen by you.

Ya, and I can only speak for myself, but I don't have a lot to give to charity so when I do it sure as heck isn't random. There's far too many scammy charities out there for that, I don't donate anything without at least a little researching first.

Poor people give away a much higher percentage of their wealth than rich people.

This seems plausible, so I searched and found this on the Wikipedia:

Various studies have examined who gives more to charity. A study in the United States found that as income decreases, charitable giving increases as a percentage of income. For instance, the poorest fifth of Americans donated 4.3% of their income, while the wealthiest fifth donated 2.1%. In absolute terms, this translated to an average donation of $453 from an average income of $10,531, compared to $3,326 from an income of $158,388.
