Liberals vs. Conservatives- "Who Gives?"

This post may not be quite what you are thinking, but is in fact a literal answer to the question, "Who gives?" A study completed by George Barna's Research Organization found that only 5% of Americans regularly give 10% or more of their money to a church or charitable organization. Among many of the sectors and subsets of their study, those who label themselves as "conservatives" found themselves in the top 5 most generous subgroups. Self-proclaimed "liberals" also found themselves in the top 5.... the top 5 least generous subgroups. The explanation for this result is simple. Conservatives are firm believers in self-responsibility, whereas, liberals are firm believers in social-responsibility. Therefore, conservatives are more likely to believe that they are personally responsible to give to churches/charities, so they do. Whereas, liberals are more likely to believe the responsibility falls to society. So, if you are down on your luck and need a handout, you are much better off hanging out around the Republican headquarters. (Registered Republicans were also on the Top 5 list of most generous subgroups.) You be the judge.
