Debunking the "Conservatives Give More to Charity" Myth
What follows is a discussion about the issue of whether Conservatives or Liberals; Republicans or Democrats give more charity.
Since the publication of Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism
However, that book is just wrong. A recent MIT study countered it finding:
In this paper, we first show that conservatives and liberals are equally generous in their donation habits. This pattern holds at both the individual and state level, and contradicts the conventional wisdom that partisans differ in their generosity. Second, we show that while levels of giving are roughly equivalent, liberals are much more likely to donate to secular organizations, and conservatives are more likely to donate to religious causes, especially their own congregation.
In the bible, God defines charity as giving to the needy without receiving, or expecting to receive, anything in return. Most "charity" conservatives give is in the form of tithes to their church. The vast majority of that money goes to salaries and building expenses -- for people and buildings that provide the giver with services. A tiny, miniscule fraction goes to the poor and needy.
