Kasz, you are incorrect agian.
Charity cannot be quantified by monetary donations. For example, a rich coal mining CEO donated money to my university for the construction of a new building, but he required that the name of the building promote the coal industry (to counter the push for green energy). Lets say he donated a a million dollars and after taxes had a net loss of $600,000, but how much value do you put on advertising and promotion of self interests? Surely a person who anonymously gives a donation is 'giving more' than a person who gives the same amount but wants recognization and to promote self-interests. So again, donations to charity are not an accurate measure of caring.
Concerning taxes, liberals want a progressive tax system that increases taxes on the rich, yet liberals also happen to have more money on average than conservatives.
Also, you failed to bring up an example of private donations being as effective as government funding. Which, I might add, is impossible since the government has much more resourcess and is better able to pursue charitable actions than a private charity could ever hope for.
