Right wingers are more generous than left wingers.

Since when did taxes count as a charity?

you give monety to the government which in the form of social programs helps people including the poor, and even donates money to charities.

You also give "monety" to the Government which they waste in poor spending, over-spending, giving money to the wrong people, and, most importantly, giving most of that money to themselves, and their friends.

Charities - good charities, at least - give most of the money they recieve directly to their cause. If that was how the Government handled their money. If that's what the rich were being "forced" to give their money to, I'd have no problem with it.

the vast majority of charities only give like 5% of the money to the cause. there are only a couple of them that even give half the money to the cause. and i mean a couple.

I have to ask if War Lord considers this to be generous.

And that excuses the government from wasting money?

no it does not, but we have wasted more money under our conservative controlled congress, conservative senate, conservative president than ever before in history. and under their policies the poverty rate went up.

that's not very charitable.

that's not what i mean about the rich paying more taxes so the poor can pay less.

How is this relevant?

 

[War Lord]

lol!

"if you help the poor, you’re called a saint; if you ask why they’re poor, you’re called a communist."

It's too true.

And yeah religious ppl giving to charity is mostly about getting into Heaven. That's the only reason they do it more. Don't fool yourself.

Works without faith is dead. That's an actual scriptural reference and basically it means that you can give all until the cows come home and it doesn't get you one step closer to heaven.

But I knew that already. It's easier being generous with other people's money than one's own.

It's easier to be generous in tiny increments when you have squillions of dollars to begin with. Those of us that are lowly middle class liberals give what we can.

Most Conservatives aren't rich. George Bush couldn't have won two terms without the poor or middle class conservative vote.

Yes, he tricked them. Quite sad, that was.

Uh huh. Now you're calling Conservatives stupid.

 

[The Overlord]

War_Lord that article and the website it comes from is objective as al jazeera, you claim that all your opinions are supported by facts, but it seems like, in reality, you twist facts to support your own precieved opinions. You don't care about facts when they contradict your opinions.

Also how much money do you give charity?

Here's a good example of Christian Conservative Charity: t:

Nope, I'm calling conservatives liars and self-centered cheats. I'm expressing sorrow that so many voters were fooled into thinking that conservatives would help them.
