People Are Less Selfish Under Capitalism

[Markle]

oubtful. A lot of contributions are anonymous and nobody knows their political affiliation.

I take it that you believe that Democrats/Progressives contribute as much or more to charities in time and money as do Republicans/Conservatives. If you believe that to be true, you are typically uninformed.

Well, provide your proof if you want to debate this...

You're so easy, this is hardly any fun.

Conservative Voters Are More Liberal With Charity

By Peter Panepento

Households that describe themselves as conservative tend to give more money to charities than moderate and liberal households, according to a new survey.

In a survey of 3,300 households that donated money to charity in the past 12 months, the company Campbell Rinker, in Valencia, Calif., asked respondents about their political ideology.

Of those surveyed, those who live in conservative households donated an average of $3,255 to charities outside of places of worship during the past year. By comparison, moderate households donated $2,926 and liberal households donated $1,879.

Conservatives also give significantly more money to their place of worship than liberals and moderates.

The survey found conservatives gave, on average, $1,841 to their places of worship during the past year — compared with $1,115 for moderates and $499 for liberals.

But while conservatives give more than their peers, they are less likely to spread the word to others about their giving experiences.

Among liberal donors, 84 percent said they had recommended a charity to friends, family, or colleagues. That compares with 75 percent of moderates and 59 percent of conservatives.

Meaningless.

Where did the respondents live?
Where were the 3,300 households located?
What were the questions asked?
What about non monetary giving?
Was the giving verified?

Of course, you want to believe it's meaningless. It makes you look like a fool when you know perfectly well that Progressives only want to use other peoples money to help others.

Arthur Brooks, the author of "Who Really Cares," says that "when you look at the data, it turns out the conservatives give about 30 percent more." He adds, "And incidentally, conservative-headed families make slightly less money."

And he says the differences in giving goes beyond money, pointing out that conservatives are 18 percent more likely to donate blood. He says this difference is not about politics, but about the different way conservatives and liberals view government.

"You find that people who believe it's the government's job to make incomes more equal, are far less likely to give their money away," Brooks says. In fact, people who disagree with the statement, "The government has a basic responsibility to take care of the people who can't take care of themselves," are 27 percent more likely to give to charity.

Who Gives More -- The Rich or The Poor?

Corporate welfare is a form of socialism, not Capitalism. Corporate welfare has even paid out, multimillion dollar bonuses to CEO's on means tested, Corporate Welfare. Capitalism is simply, too cheap, for free.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

we need a capitalistic system that is progressive, that is able to help families get ahead!

We need a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage not private charity. Why is the right wing, so selfish?

Minimum wage is charity.

so is corporate welfare.

And I'll ask you again....who provides that corporate welfare ?

If you had any integrity, you'd answer, but you know it makes you face your worst fear.

Can any stupid dumb ass left wing piece of shit tell us how much money or charitable giving....

Venezuela, Cuba, China, North Korea, give?

Go ahead and compare it to what America gives to the world.

Do you fuckers want to compare?

Want to compare what Christians give compared to hollywood?

Do you want to make that comparison?

No?

So, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU LAUGH YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!?

apples and oranges. we have the First World economy. It is "easy" to give, if you have plenty of money.

Why so miserly when it comes to actually solving our problems, instead of just, "covering multitudes of sins", through private charity?

What problems has government solved lately.

Social seurity is a true fuck up.

Medicare is headed the same way (and has made life harder for others).

Obamacare is a load of dirt.

Philanthropy Expert Says Conservatives Are More Generous
BY FRANK BRIEADDY

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks is about to become the darling of the religious right wing in America -- and it's making him nervous.

The child of academics, raised in a liberal household and educated in the liberal arts, Brooks has written a book that concludes religious conservatives donate far more money than secular liberals to all sorts of charitable activities, irrespective of income.

In the book, to be released later this month, he cites extensive data analysis to demonstrate that values advocated by conservatives -- from church attendance and two-parent families to the Protestant work ethic and a distaste for government-funded social services -- make conservatives more generous than liberals.

Ok.
A 12 year old blog post.. . Incredible.

 

[Flopper]

So true. No doubt that America is the most generous country. Our poor resemble middle class in many other countries. We have more charities. People can quickly raise money for any cause, from helping victims of a disaster to helping animal shelters.

Socialism and communism are what make people selfish. When you have so little, you don't share because you can't afford to. When government allows people to get what government thinks they need, people cling to what they have. If someone needs something, they are supposed to turn to government.

Leftists encourage people to be rude and selfish. They divide people into groups and pit them against each other. That fosters resentment and dehumanizes anyone who doesn't think the way they do. No wonder there is so much theft and violence. The looters are greedy. The rioters are hateful. Are any of these leftists groups starting charities to help others? No. They expect government to rob on their behalf because they feel entitled to other people's money. There is no basis for that entitlement. Hard to be charitable when someone who could work and have as much as you would rather demand that you hand it to them. It's no different than mugging someone and demanding their wallet.

We have a lot of charities. We welcome refugees who need help. We give generously to other countries after disasters. That is kindness. We don't demand that government take from others, we reach into our own pockets because we care about total strangers. I am sick of the left pretending that only they care when all they do is demand that others foot the bill. They are the selfish ones.

Leftists also think they are being kind by demanding open borders. They don't think it through or imagine what this country would turn into if citizens here were suddenly outnumbered 4 to 1, and that's a conservative estimate. Leftists don't stop and think about thousands of human trafficking victims going through the border. They would never question whether an individual is a criminal or whether the children with them are their own. It matters not to leftists that they may be aiding and abetting kidnappers. They think ignoring the evil and allowing them to run rampant is caring when the truth is that our lack of security threatens all innocent people on both sides of the border. They demand policies that would do more harm than good and yet call themselves humanitarians. Real compassion is caring for people, not demanding things that would cause them harm.

Republicans are shown to give more to charities than Democrats. You can't count it when Dems steal a million dollars from tax payers and only $10,000 of it reaches the people it was taken to help. It's not benevolent to make money disappear as it goes through the bureaucracies. It is benevolent to give of yourself to help others, something the left rarely does. The right clearly supports capitalism because that made this the best country. It allows people to earn money to care for themselves and for them to donate to help others. The money doesn't run out because capitalism creates wealth and continues to do so. The left clearly supports socialism because it gives them the power to redistribute the existing wealth, until it runs out. Socialism does not create wealth. Once spent, no one can receive the help they need.


"Years ago, an MBA student of mine had immigrated from Albania after growing up under Communism. She shared with her classmates what she observed to be the most unexpected mindset difference between Americans and Albanians.

She got emotional as she explained how in Albania, charity was rare—caring for anyone other than yourself and your family was uncommon. In contrast, she experienced Americans as generous and caring.

My student described how exasperated she felt hearing the claim that capitalism leads to a survival of the fittest mentality. In her experience, it was the opposite; under communism, the mindset was to not care for others."


People Are Less Selfish Under Capitalism… Especially Compared to Socialism | Barry Brownstein

What we call capitalism today is regulated capitalism, a far cry from Adam Smith's capitalism. Regulated capitalism is the prevailing economic system in major economies today. However, there is also a heavy dose of socialism in most all of them. Take China for example. China is a socialist country, actually communist. However, it is also one of the most capitalist countries. Since there are no true capitalist countries, how can you say they are less selfish.

No wonder there is so much theft and violence. The looters are greedy. The rioters are hateful. Are any of these leftists groups starting charities to help others? No. They expect government to rob on their behalf because they feel entitled to other people's money. There is no basis for that entitlement. Hard to be charitable when someone who could work and have as much as you would rather demand that you hand it to them. It's no different than mugging someone and demanding their wallet.

We have a lot of charities. We welcome refugees who need help. We give generously to other countries after disasters. That is kindness. We don't demand that government take from others, we reach into our own pockets because we care about total strangers. I am sick of the left pretending that only they care when all they do is demand that others foot the bill. They are the selfish ones.

Leftists also think they are being kind by demanding open borders. They don't think it through or imagine what this country would turn into if citizens here were suddenly outnumbered 4 to 1, and that's a conservative estimate. Leftists don't stop and think about thousands of human trafficking victims going through the border. They would never question whether an individual is a criminal or whether the children with them are their own. It matters not to leftists that they may be aiding and abetting kidnappers. They think ignoring the evil and allowing them to run rampant is caring when the truth is that our lack of security threatens all innocent people on both sides of the border. They demand policies that would do more harm than good and yet call themselves humanitarians. Real compassion is caring for people, not demanding things that would cause them harm.

Republicans are shown to give more to charities than Democrats. You can't count it when Dems steal a million dollars from tax payers and only $10,000 of it reaches the people it was taken to help. It's not benevolent to make money disappear as it goes through the bureaucracies. It is benevolent to give of yourself to help others, something the left rarely does. The right clearly supports capitalism because that made this the best country. It allows people to earn money to care for themselves and for them to donate to help others. The money doesn't run out because capitalism creates wealth and continues to do so. The left clearly supports socialism because it gives them the power to redistribute the existing wealth, until it runs out. Socialism does not create wealth. Once spent, no one can receive the help they need.


"Years ago, an MBA student of mine had immigrated from Albania after growing up under Communism. She shared with her classmates what she observed to be the most unexpected mindset difference between Americans and Albanians.

She got emotional as she explained how in Albania, charity was rare—caring for anyone other than yourself and your family was uncommon. In contrast, she experienced Americans as generous and caring.

My student described how exasperated she felt hearing the claim that capitalism leads to a survival of the fittest mentality. In her experience, it was the opposite; under communism, the mindset was to not care for others."


People Are Less Selfish Under Capitalism… Especially Compared to Socialism | Barry Brownstein

What we call capitalism today is regulated capitalism, a far cry from Adam Smith's capitalism. Regulated capitalism is the prevailing economic system in major economies today. However, there is also a heavy dose of socialism in most all of them. Take China for example. China is a socialist country, actually communist. However, it is also one of the most capitalist countries. Since there are no true capitalist countries, how can you say they are less selfish.

China is hardly Communist.

From the research I read, we are by far the most charitable of all nations and it isn’t close, France is dead last and conservatives tend to give more to charity over liberals.

apples and oranges. we have the First World economy. It is "easy" to give, if you have plenty of money.

Why so miserly when it comes to actually solving our problems, instead of just, "covering multitudes of sins", through private charity?

What problems has government solved lately.

Social seurity is a true fuck up.

Medicare is headed the same way (and has made life harder for others).

Obamacare is a load of dirt.

lol. nobody takes the right wing seriously about economics. The Third World is more about Capitalism than Any first world economy.

Well, apparently they do because they have the government right now.

it takes Morals, to bear True Witness.

Can you please post something that makes sense.

This country is not run on Zen mantra.

no morals; i got it. do you hang out with right wing Bakers?
