Ashley Herzog pens a most interesting column about the generosity of liberals vs. conservatives. She writes that:
"The General Social Survey consistently finds that conservatives give more of their time and money to the less fortunate. For example, conservatives are more likely to volunteer for charitable activities than liberals (27 percent to 19 percent). Arthur C. Brooks, author of “Who Really Cares?” found that charitable donations average $2,210 for conservatives and a paltry $642 for liberals—and that’s after excluding donations to churches and other religious organizations."
There is much more but the data show what my experience has generally been - when it comes to putting your money, as opposed to public funds, where your mouth is, most liberals simply can't be counted on. Give it a read. I would be interested in your comments.
