Who gives more, conservatives or liberals? - Examiner.com

During my stint at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, I noticed something that really threw me for a loop: social workers (and particularly social work educators) are not nice people. Arguably the most liberal of all professions, these folks are really more concerned with using politics to shift American culture to their view of "Utopia," rather than they are with helping people deal with the day-to-day of being poor and trying to make one's self better. It was a real eye-opener for me.

So the results of this book are no surprise, if you know what liberals are all about: they think they get warm fuzzies trying to help the poor and act on other liberal causes, but they want someone else to do it. They expend considerable energies on this approach. They use politics to acquire other people's money for their notions, rather than digging deeply into their own pockets. Why else do we find some of the wealthiest people in the world (Barbara Streisand comes to mind) doing fund-raisers, rather than doling out large sums of their own, considerable, cash? And just look at liberal politicians, and what they do with the People's money...

Have a look at the results of this study. Reality is a real kick in the head.

"Those who work in fundraising for charities understand that generosity frequently declines as wealth increases. People of modest incomes in rural South Dakota or Mississippi are typically far more generous than those in affluent areas like San Francisco or Manhattan. What Brooks, who identifies himself as one who was raised in a politically liberal family, found to be most striking was that “liberals, who often claim to care more about others than conservatives do, are personally less charitable.” Brooks was surprised to discover that religious conservatives are the most generous of all."
