#1 Another thing liberals don't consider is how tax cuts favor "The Rich". That's because if you're making less than $40k or so, you don't pay enough taxes to stick in your ear, so I guess by default they favor "The Rich" because you can't give back what you don't take.

#2 And it's not even because conservatives are more able to afford to be generous because they have greedily stolen more wealth in the first place. POOR conservatives (like the members of the black Baptist church down the street from me) are more generous than RICH liberals (like John Kerry). This is in 'absolute' dollars, not 'percentage' of wealth or income.

#3 ...are more generous than RICH liberals (like John Kerry).

Heh. Howie Carr (local radio guy, Herald columnist) says about John Kerry, 'He throws quarters around like they were manhole covers'.

#4 Liberals are generous - just with other people's money. They want the government to control "charity" so that they can control it (who it goes to etc.).

#5 Conservatives consider charity a duty and they get personally involved to make individual contributions.

Liberals think people should be thoroughly taxed and then the planners/elite/meritocracy (them) should decide who gets what. "I gave at the office."

#6 Dirty old money won't help. Hard core, deep, deep caring is called for. I frown 10 minutes a day over the opressed. I also watch Michael Moore movies and do appearances. That's plenty. Hell, they oughta pay me.

#7 Anybody who has to suffer through a Michael Moore money ought to be compensated somehow.
