Conservatives Generous With Own Money, Liberals Generous With Other People's Money - 14 Nov 2003

...A new study is taking a shot at an old stereotype -- the one that says liberals are generous and conservatives are stingy. The Massachusetts Catalogue for Philanthropy puts out a generosity index every year. It gauges giving around the nation. According to Family News In Focus, the report finds that the 20 states with the most generous people all voted for George W. Bush in the last presidential election. Meanwhile, 15 of the 20 least generous states all went for Al Gore in 2000. Some conservatives say the news does not surprise them. They say the conservatives are generous with their own money, while liberals are generous with other people's money. |
