Probably because conservatives are more likely to be religious.
I wonder how much more likely liberals are to give to charities rather than churches.
So to you...being religious and giving more to charity is a problem. You do have serious problems, don't you?
Are you saying that because more Conservatives think of others more than themselves and are religious, you, Progressives are excused from contributing nearly as much as do Conservatives.
GOT IT! You're excused from giving and are therefore entitled to take it from the pockets of those who EARNED the money.
Whew!
