Cause most democrats, don't have the money to donate to charity, or don't bother turning it in to get tax brakes..
I know I just bit the hook..
And I just ate it, cause this is just too damn idiotic..
A bit of an oversimplified analysis there, don't you think?
The number of rich Republicans that give money to charity for purposes of exploiting tax write-offs is insignificant when taken with the total number of people in a given state. On that same note, the number of rich Democrats doing the same for the same reason is probably very similar. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I do believe that wealth creates a mindset all its own--and it crosses party lines more often than not.
These statistics point to the general tendancies of the regular people--those whose numbers are great enough to affect rates on a statewide magnitude. Besides Bill Gates(who's given billions), there are very, very few people that can do this on their own.
Perhaps bleeding heart and bleeding wallet aren't the same thing afterall.
