Those horrible Republicans.... all they care about is big business and making more money on the backs of the lower classes...
On the other hand... The Red States give more to charity than the Blue States.
Kinda shows that the Democrat party are just spewing a bunch of hot air...

"Generosity Index" Mirrors Red State-Blue State Divide As we approach Thanksgiving, the Catalogue for Philanthropy has ranked the fifty states on their relative generosity, comparing each state's average itemized charitable deductions with its average adjusted gross income (based on 2003 IRS data).
The 50-state ranking has a decided Red State-Blue State flavor: 28 of the 29 "most generous" states are Red States that voted for President Bush (including all 25 of the "most generous" states), while 17 of the 21 "least generous" states are Blue States that voted for Senator Kerry (including all 7 of the "least generous" states):
Note the eerie similarity with the 2004 presidential election map:
Aint that something, that most of them are industrial states that have watched their jobs been offshored by the corporate prostitutes.
Try going back 10 years and see if the colors change, just a thought!

Yeah, because everybody knows the people of Mississippi and Alabama have significantly more disposable income than the wonderful generous folks in California...

Since the "Bush" counties have an average of 62.677 persons per square mile, and the "Kerry" counties have an average of 221.115 persons per square mile, I believe we can draw the conclusion that Kerry voters are more dense than Bush voters.

Really not too suprising to me. The Red States have much poorer state/county welfare programs and systems, thus need to have a larger portion of charitable donations in order for the poor, disabled, needy, etc....to be taken care of.
Interesting Fact: Red States vs. Blue States
