This whole thread is funny.
Where does it say that conservatives respond more to "duty" contributions?
IIRC, conservatives want to abolish things that they pay for in taxes, if they already pay for it themselves.
For example, send kid to private school, I shouldn't be taxed for public schools.
How is that duty?
Also charity laws are broken.
Welfare is money that goes directly to people, for them to use how they need.
Charity is money that gets filtered through a system and ends up being 30% of the original amount, to decide what those people need.
I also highly dispute that conservatives have better morality than liberals. (Looking at Kohlberg's stages of development)
Unless of course most of this "research" relies on the fact that more poor, disadvantaged, demographics are liberal.
If we were to look at organizations and laws that are deemed to be conservative or liberal, I'm sure we'd be looking at a different result. Liberal agenda tends to focus on universal ethical principles, and social contracts than conservative agenda, which seems to be more focused on social order and conformity.
