Hi all, I'm looking for a discussion from late last year about charitable giving divided up by political affiliation. It talked about how liberal households tend to earn a bit more, but give a bit less. There were alot of comments on it but now I can't find it. Any help is appreciated.

1. Remember that donations to one's church or other religious institution ... |
|
count as charitable donations. That might explain the difference, if it is indeed true. Liberals tend to be less affiliated with religious institutions on the whole.
But don't confuse charitable giving with acting charitably.

2. Donations to the Catholic Church for their pedophile-defense fund count as charity. So the stat |

is meaningless without a lot more detail.
