CHARITABLE GIVING -- WHO REALLY CARES?

Year-end is time for reviewing many things, one of which, for many, is their charitable giving for the year. So who do you think gives more--Liberals or Conservatives?
According to research conducted by Arthur C. Brooks*, the answer is Conservatives--by a significant margin. Conservative Republicans give over 30 percent more than Liberal Democrats.
Another finding of Mr Brooks was that people who are religious tend to give much larger amounts than those who are not--to both religious and non-religious orgainzations.
Its all about personal responsibility verses government as Robin Hood.
