I know people that donate their money to charities for the tax write-offs...not out of actual compassion or generosity.No they aren't. It's been found that American conservatives, despite earning on average 6% less than liberals, give about 30% more to charity (both secular and religious) than American liberals. It also found that those who support the idea that government should redistribute income are among the least likely to dig into their own wallets to help others.

Bad example to prove generosity and compassion.

Your statistics are highly suspect.
