How many dollars have you sent to hungry children?

How many refugees are living in your home?

How many cancer stricken children’s gofundmes have you contributed to?

How many wells have you built in Africa?

How many single moms have you personally assisted?

NP. Don't be so intellectually lazy. First of all, there is no individual level data on party affiliation linked to giving, just separate population statistics on what percentage was donated vs. which candidate got the most electoral votes. Second, what are they counting as "charity". My guess is they just looked at tax return data. No surprise Utah gave the most...Mormons are required to tithe 10% of their income to their church, which is tax deductible. Continuing down the list, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee,... since we have no information to the contrary, it seems to me that plenty of these donations could be to folks own churches, especially those mega churches with roller rinks and movies theaters. I wouldn't assume much at all was going to anyone who actually needed it.

And since you just seem to be choosing random internet articles here is one for you. One good quote: "Importantly, the study did not find that in Republican counties, private funds replaced public funds so that social services were equally supported." https://nonprofitquarterly.org/republicans-give-more-to-charity-than-democrats-but-theres-a-bigger-story-here/

Your article confirms that Republicans do give more. Truth hurts.

Unsubstantiated speculation about the deserving ness of the beneficiaries of the giving is the definition of intellectual laziness. [/quote]
