Maybe Democrats are less charitable because they are more likely to live in Democratic controlled areas that provide more government services to the needy. However, does that really reflect compassion if you merely live in a system which provides those services through mandatory taxation? A republican moving from Kansas to NYC doesn't become more compassionate simply by paying more in taxes because they have to.

- MrMcCall 2y agoThat doesn't mean they use them to the fullest, and GOPers are really, really into avoiding taxes. It's like a religion to them, and they are about to crush our economy to make more absurd tax cuts for their rich friends and sycophants.
