Do we have a chance?

Following scientific data collection and coding procedures, we identify 421 effect sizes from 31 empirical studies. Our meta-analysis results suggest that political conservatives are significantly more charitable than liberals at an overall level,
As for democrats demanding others part with their money, see below.
Neither of those causes are funded by registered charities numbnuts.
Did we say anything about registered charities? Oh wait, that’s how you get a tax deduction so I see why that’s so important to them. Haven’t get something in return.
It would be much more cost effective to make no charitable donations at all, even with deductions. But of course you know that….. presumably.
Yes given the study I linked only collects data from donations to registered charities, it is extremely pertinent.
Not at all. Most philanthropy does not involve 501(c)s nor is it linked to political parties.
I’m not wrong in at all dole. I think even you are smart enough to realize this.
When confronted with data that conservatives are more charitable, you resort to bullshit obfuscating. You're pathetic.
Just because you are dumb doesn’t mean you can’t be genuine. Have some dignity.
I do not know about Chicago. In Bloomington and Indy they open up low barrier shelters in the winter. There are not enough volunteers year round and churches prefer not to do it year round (often church buildings are used)
Low barrier is rare in the summer. Most require ID, one cannot be high, pets are not allowed. So until the low barrier shelters open, there isn't a lot of room
Of course there are some who greatly prefer outdoors. But for most, they cannot meet the normal minimum requirements.
In 20 years I might have seen 5 people sleeping on the streets in Atlanta. You see panhandlers on the exits and street corners now and then. There are a few “camps” that you pretty much have to know where they are to see them. It’s weird that the homeless are a walking hazard on Michigan Ave. I wouldn’t have thought that.
You’re full of sh!t. Buffett and all wealthy Americans should be doing far more than they are doing for the poor.
Read my post and then read your reply and try to figure out if there is any logical correlation at all.
As a White Sox fan I wholeheartedly endorse this proposal.

I think what you say is true. Happiness is a choice for the most part. Of course there are circumstances where I don't think that's true but for the most part I think it is.
A Republican and a Democrat are walking down the street. They come upon a homeless beggar.
The Republican reaches into his pocket and pulls out twenty dollars
handing it to the man.
The Democrat is impressed by his fellow's unexpected generosity. They continue down the road and soon come upon another beggar. Not wanting to be outdone the Democrat reaches into the Republican's pocket and pulls out fifty dollars for the man. 🤣
This story reminds me of my business partner for many years who was Mensa smart on complicated subjects.
However on the subject of politics he kept things simple and boiled it down to something his father told him, "Democrats give people a handout, and Republicans give people a hand up".
