Charitable Conservatives

A long while ago, D.V. at work had mentioned a study he'd read about where conservatives donate much more in terms of percentage of income than liberals.  I had occasion to look that up, and found a couple references (NYT, RCP) to a 2008 study by Arthur Brooks.  No surprises there.

Maybe liberals think that spending tax dollars on entitlements is equivalent.  However, there's nothing charitable about spending someone else's money to assuage one's guilty conscience.
