Liberals make a lot of noise about being their brother's keeper, and taking care of the least of these, and all that, but the truth is, it's just a pose, an affectation, like those of the runway models and Hollywood actors they look up to.
Red states give more money to charity than blue states, according to a new study on Monday.
The eight states with residents who gave the highest share of their income to charity supported Sen. John McCain in 2008, while the seven states with the least generous residents went for President Barack Obama, the Chronicle of Philanthropy found in its new survey of tax data from the IRS for 2008.
The eight states whose residents gave the highest share of their income — Utah, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Idaho, Arkansas and Georgia — all backed McCain in 2008. Utah leads charitable giving, with 10.6 percent of income given.
And the least generous states — Wisconsin, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire — were Obama supporters in the last presidential race. New Hampshire residents gave the least share of their income, the Chronicle stated, with 2.5 percent.
LIBERALS THINK THEIR NANNY WILL ALSO TAKE CARE OF THE OTHERS.
ReplyDeleteJUST TAX THE RICH.
AND IT PROVES THAT THEIR ANTI-GOP MEME - THAT WE RIGHTWINGERS ARE SELFISH - IS BS.
Yeah, but how do you like the photo and caption?
ReplyDeleteInterestingly obummer just gave a speach where he waxed philosophically about how he he believes he is his brothers keeper......
ReplyDeleteWhile in Africa his actual brother sits in a shack absolutely destitute. Fits well into the article above about charity or lack thereof and liberals
If the govt forces you by coercion to 'give' to charity as they deem the priorities, then you feel no need to give anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a tax rate chart right next to those numbers as well
Yes, I agree. However, it is a chicken/egg scenario. Those who believe government is responsible for charity vote for the government to be their charity. Those who don't, and who believe they ought to choose their own charities, vote for the government to stay out of the charity business.
