"....But a closer look at charitable giving in the United States shows the poorest states give the most. As a percentage of income, giving is highest in states where the average household income is lowest -- states like Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma, according to a Christian Science Monitor report on the Catalogue for Philanthropy's Generosity Index for 2004.
On the other hand, states known for high incomes like Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts rank near the bottom in charitable giving rates. The Monitor noted the states that give the most correlate to the red states -- those who voted for George W. Bush in the last election -- while the states that give the least are the blue ones that voted for John Kerry. The color pattern has continued each year since the index began keeping track in 1997...."
No kidding! Most of the liberals I know give NOTHING to Charity. They say the govt. should help the poor.
