Do Unto Others...

Liberals love to tell you how they are compassionate and “concerned” about taking care of the less fortunate in our society. To this end, the liberal politicians love to help us take care of our stuff, particularly our money. They think that our feeble little minds just can’t possibly take care of the needy in our midst. They believe that they can spend our money better than we can, so they tax our asses off under the guise of helping their causes.

Well, the Catalogue For Philanthropy has just published their “Generosity Index” and it reveals some rather disturbing facts about our liberal friends. The index is published on a state-by-state basis and factors personal income versus charitable giving to produce a state ranking.

Number one on the list—the state of Mississippi. Mississippi is dead last in income, but her residents are number five in charitable giving. The number two on the list, Arkansas, is number forty-seven in income, but number six in giving. You can scroll down the list and find that the top 25 states are all conservative, based on last week’s elections.

Good old liberal New York state is number twenty-six on the list, with a income rank of fifth and a giving rank of ninth. And all of those lovely California ex-hippies-- you know, the ones that don’t understand air pollution and homelessness—they are number twenty-nine. Their income ranking is sixth, but their charitable giving level is a dismal seventeenth.

I say we start a campaign for making these loudmouths put their own money where their bleeding-heart mouths are. Who are they to take everyone else’s hard earned money to spend on their pet causes while they sit home on their own wad of cash?

Is it just me? Just wondering…
