I'd be curious the difference in giving between political types if you took out giving to churches and religious organizations.

Obviously cons are more religious as a rule so you would think a large component of giving would be to the church whereas libs would give to more secular type of charities.

More whining about your OWN situation.

Maybe if you had taken a REAL college major instead of one with little chances of finding a REAL job, you wouldn't be in the situation you ARE in.

The choices you MAKE have consequences!

Are you speaking from experience?

Don't you live in Oregon which is run by dems?

Yet, you want to blame the repubs for the taxes that the DEMS in Oregon have control over.

I was thinking of state taxes, where Repiublicans love to cot property taxes for homeowners and cut income taxes while increasing sales taxes. My landlord got a tax cut and all I got was a higher sales tax.

But if you're referring to the Reagan tax cuts...my taxes went down $300 and my rent went up $1000. I can't afford any more tax cuts like that.

Social welfare programs only take up 1/3 of the budget. That is not enough.
You bet we don't believe in charities that the Republicans believe in. These "Christian values" tax exempt charities have turned into prosperity Bible indoctrination centers that masquerade as extreme political trickle down voter blocks for tax cuts for the super rich.

I dunno. Habitat for Horses hasn't tried to indoctrinate me. WWF hasn't tried to indoctrinate me.
And the Humane Society hasn't tried to indoctrinate me.

I'm agnostic, so I don't have a dog in this hunt. That said, I think it's pretty rich for a lib/progressive to make a comment about indoctrination centers when the percentage of conservative public school teachers is miniscule, and they often must stay silent....going along to get along.

The fact is you can't even feed the homeless without being fined in some areas thanks to you leftists. How dare any one but government help anyone. Not real religious but I hope there is a hell so left wing scumbags will finally face justice.

The left has decimated the urban family. Do you ever see any remorse? No, you do not. Psychopaths feel no remorse.
