Ja, jag uppmärksammade först fenomenet att konservativa skänker mer pengar till välgörenhet än liberaler (ett tips; kolla din rubrik!) när jag läste Ann Coulters kolumn "Scrooge Was A Liberal": http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=40757
I denna stod bl a: "... Syracuse University professor Arthur Brooks' study of charitable giving in America found that conservatives give 30 percent more to charity than liberals do, despite the fact that liberals have higher incomes than conservatives...
... Brooks found that conservatives donate more in time, services and even blood than other Americans, noting that if liberals and moderates gave as much blood as conservatives do, the blood supply would increase by about 45 percent.
They ought to set up blood banks at tea parties...
... Brooks wrote that he was shocked by his conclusions because he believed liberals 'genuinely cared more about others than conservatives did' -- probably because liberals are always telling us that.
So he re-ran the numbers and gathered more data, but it kept coming out the same. 'In the end,' he says, 'I had no option but to change my views.'
Every other study on the subject has produced similar results..."
Tja. Där ser vi. Rätt kul information, och roligast är nog kommentaren på slutet i Ann Coulters kolumn:
"... In his book 'Intellectuals,' Paul Johnson quotes Pablo Picasso scoffing at the idea that he would give to the needy. 'I'm afraid you've got it wrong,' Picasso explains, 'we are socialists. We don't pretend to be Christians.'"
Med dessa rader, vill jag önska alla människor ett Gott Slut och ett Gott Nytt År!
