You could take it anyway you'd like, we both know you'd be wrong as usual.

Actually, I look like a slacker compared to most of the liberals I know... I'd do more but I'm working full time, taking 2 college classes and trying to finish my instrument rating.

Start your own thread.

The fact that you don't want to state a dollar amount says to me that you're ashamed of that amount relative to the amount of biotching and moaning coming from you and others when it comes to castigating GOP attitudes towards the poor.

Got it.

I don't have a lot of money, since I am a student but what I don't have in money I try to make up in time/skills.

I can tell you what I did last year though

I have spend hundreds of hours and drafted scores of documents over the past year assisting low income seniors prepare health care documents, wills, and other documents that allow them to have their wishes expressed in official documentation regarding medical decisions, and who they want to help them with their affairs if they get sick or injured. I volunteer at the local shelter preparing warm and healthy meals for the poor and have assisted domestic violence victims in obtaining protective orders.

Though I imagine that probably doesn't count and or is not good enough for you.

I find this to be highly respectable. Great job!

Up until last year I was making baby clothes, preemie clothes, burial outfits and other baby related items and donating them to our local clothes closet (where anyone can get free clothes once a month).
I only stopped because my sewing machine died and I am unable to buy a new one.
So, I still cut out baby items in anticipation of getting another machine when my own finances allow it.

Tell us how you live up to your own ideals.
So people have to personally match every program they want their taxes to go to? Does this rule apply only to helpoing the poor or every tax dollar spent?

I'm sure you feel the same way about the money you've paid to help fighting Egypt, bombing in Libya and little stuff like that right? Yeah probably not, logical thinking like that is banned on the Democrat plantation.

Why do you repeatedly bring up plantation when you refer to a black person
