Why would they?
Good liberals give as much as they can to the government, and let the government redistribute it.
Charity be damned!

Most democrats don’t give to charity! They are only “takers” not “givers” unless they’re giving OUR tax money to THEIR cause!
To: Responsibility2nd
OF course they did, their student loans have had them dumpster diving to make ends meet, just ask his wife...

Now this needs wide circulation. Remember how MSM got all over the Bush’s and Cheneys and sKerry’s about their donations.

Good liberals give as much as they can to the government, and let the government redistribute it. WRONG!
"good liberals" advocate taking as much of OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY as they can to let the government redistribute it.
The "tax me more fund" proved this concept.

Revealing but not suprising.
Conservatives tend to be more generous with their bucks!

Seriously, there are leftists that disdain charity and those who voluntarily give to charity because it “lets government off the hook”.

Yeah, lets ask the wife!

Liberal hypocrites.
There have been several threads about Conservatives vs. Liberals in generosity and charity work.
I tell you who does the most good: A little Christian church in a rural area.
