Not the rich ones. They're cheap too.

Maybe conservatives feel guilty about screwing the poor all year long? They're compensating now. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

We need more cheap politicians! Elect cheap Liberals and throw out the free spending Republicans.

I'm not surprised by this at all. Man I hate liberals.

Do they count church contributions as charity?

It was touched on briefly in the article, but as a fiscal conservative, I feel that it's not the government's job to be taking care of the poor. I feel it's the job of the communities. Therefore, I give more to charity.

Is this news... their "test" to see who is cheaper is ridiculous. In the same vein they should see who is "cheaper": The white Jew or the black baptist. We will set up a salavtion army bucket at a bank in New York and one at a Waffle House in Dallas.

Facts can be so inconvenient at times.

There is a reasonably scientific report (or book) on this that came out last month that has spurred these copy-cat stunts. Shockingly, it got next to no notice in the MSM but was everywhere on talk radio. My memory is that low income conservatives were way out in front as % of income givers. Red states were way out in front of blue. Not a surprise.

The reasoning that strikes me as likely true is that libs assume their good votes for huge government and the nanny state provide for the people in need and additional personal charity is not needed.
