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.
Who Gives and Who Doesn't?

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.
