Just a philosophical question, if every year when doing tax returns, there's an option to "donate" extra taxes to the federal government, would any liberals really volunteer anything extra? Liberals are always into tax and spend policies, want more benefits, including for illegals, etc.
I'm a conservative who supports low taxes but I donate a lot of my own money to causes like church food banks, Christian organizations, etc.
But let's say liberals are even given a choice in their tax returns where they can donate specifically to help illegal aliens, or a fund just for Planned Parenthood or to just fund abortion. Would they donate?
Probably not. Like the old saying goes, liberals are generous with OTHER people's money!
I already pay more taxes than most of the conservatives who ***** about paying too much in taxes, so I'm good over here, slick.

It is easy to be conspicuously 'compassionate' if others are being forced to pay the cost.

Really? "I'm a conservative who supports low taxes but I donate a lot of my own money to causes like church food banks, Christian organizations, etc." You don't take deductions for these donations? I'm a liberal who also donates to organizations like you mention. If you aren't taking the deductions (when available) then you're a fool. Thing is ALL of us, whether we're conservative/liberal/moderate/Democrat/Republican pay taxes for various things that we might or might not agree with. Personally I like roads, drinking water, schools... . Not much of a fan of war, giving tax money to multi-billion dollar companies so that they'll move into my city. Don't get me wrong, I like when they do, just not a fan of my tax dollars luring them when they have enough on their own to go wherever they'd like.

Red states get more from the Treasury than blue states to.
Maybe trump and Republican voters need to pitch in now and pay off the trillion dollar deficits they just created

There's another old saying that goes: Baseless allegations unsupported by facts are just that, baseless allegations.
Any discussions that devolve into Red State/Blue State arguments is a waste of time, because it ignores there are millions of blues in a red state and vice versa.
