As we approach Thanksgiving, I came across an interesting article on Drudge about Giving. Philanthropy expert Arthur C. Brooks, who just authored the book:”Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism” revealed that “religious conservatives donate far more money than secular liberals to all sorts of charitable activities, irrespective of income.”
The main reason comes down ideological lines. Liberals who think Goverment can do more for people give less to charity even when government doesn’t provide enough money to the cause. Even going so far to say that big talkers don’t make big spenders unless it comes to someone else’s money.
So as we go this Holiday season remember this: Charity begins at home, not in Washington.
