Yeah, they say stuff like that on the radio, don't they? The whole attitude there seems to be "if the facts don't fit, just make s##t up." You'll hear a lot of pretty funny stuff on the radio.

Put it this way: it's a well-known fact that the poor and middle class actually donate a greater percentage of their income than the rich do. Everybody oohs and ahhs about how much Bill Gates donates to charity, but the ironic thing is, the average working stiff donates more, percentage-wise.

Now, it's also a well-known fact that people who vote Democrat (who you'd probably classify as "liberal") are, on average, significantly lower-income than those who vote Republican (who you'd probably classify as "conservative"). That would appear to contradict this new book you're writing about (this new book wouldn't happen to be written by someone like Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and ilk, now would it?)

No, it was written by a Liberal University professor, who also mentioned poor conservatives also donated 30& higher than lower income Liberals.

John Stossel's latest 20/20 report ... points out that more than 80 percent of philanthropic giving and volunteering in this country is done by conservatives. The study done over years, according to Stossel, by a self-proclaimed liberal professor at Syracuse University, showed liberals are far less likely to give to any charities, volunteer or even give blood, so this study encompasses every aspect of "personal" giving.
Data proves conservatives will donate more often and give more, even when they have less of an income than their liberal counterpart. It was shown that liberals in general do not feel giving is a personal responsibility, and their reasoning somehow transfers responsibility onto the government.
So, conservatives are actually more truly "liberal" with their possessions and time than are liberals? Fascinating.
That explains why "liberals" want to increase government and social programs. It seems a bit ironic that those who give and volunteer the least are the ones that scream the loudest about increasing the already inefficient government programs to help the less fortunate.
