Liberals love giving to charity with other people’s money

John Stossel set out to verify or dispute a myth that liberals give more to charity than conservatives. The way liberals talk on TV, you would think conservatives hate children and the poor, yet the evidence shows the exact opposite.
All but one of the top 25 states where people give an above average percentage of their income were red states in the last presidential election (Maryland was the one blue state). Stossel spoke with Arthur Brooks of Syracuse University.
“When you look at the data, it turns out the conservatives give about 30 percent more. And incidentally, conservative-headed families make slightly less money.”
Stossel also found that conservatives donate 18% more blood than liberals.
Brooks’s book, Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism, dispells the myth that liberals care more than conservatives. Conservatives show they care by giving money to charity. Liberals show they care by giving other people’s money to the government to then give to poor people once they pay all the bureaucrats necessary to administer the charity. Thanks liberals!!
