Additionally conservatives are more charitable then liberals.

Your more likely to get a handout from Dick Cheney then Al Gore.

Which is another ammusingly statistical fact... but one you won't like.

The more conservative, religious and poor you are... the more likely you are to give a higher percentage of your money to charity.

Next time someone says conservatives don't care about charity... keep in mind they donate a higher percentage of their money then Liberals.

So really the issue is the same.  As the political system moves left... people will become more liberal, and will donate less to charity.  Will the governemt wellfare replace the effectiveness of charity?

Hard to say.  Unless run well... of which there is no well run proposal yet.  It's likely to cost more and have just as many if not more holes.

 

 

except the states where the poor conservatives live, take more federal money from the taxes of those states where the greedy stingy rich liberals live

So... lower socialism like they want and there is no problem?

The biggest issue i tend to have is with people who champion the poor yet do jack to help them and fly around on jets drinking 200 dollars bottles of champaign.

If you think your tax rate should be 5% higher why aren't you donating that 5% to charity?

because I think government can do a better job than charity, however i'm perfectly fine with letting the red states rot if that's what they want

That seems to go against common facts so far... but ok.

I mean... escpiecally the US government.  What's the last program the US government has done well in regards to social programs?  I know i can't find any in Ohio.

That's because US programs are usually hamstrung by the right, look at healthcare, other nations in Europe, canada and Japan have some form of universal healthcare and they pay less and have higher life expectancies, lower infant mortality, and so on
