Oh look! josephine is a fukin Rhodes Scholar!!!Did you seriously just quote yourself and reply? The fuck????????
Joe fucks up way worse than that in most of his posts.
I merely asked you to provide proof of the following statement:
Conservatives are, on average, much more generous with their wealth.
I would love to compare charitable receipts with you....
And you couldn't do it.
Therefore, I can only conclude, that you have made a spurious statement.
If we were in a formal debate or court of law, you would lose against me @The Prowler.
Mind you I have not stated whether your remark is TRUE or FALSE.
Just that you have been unable thus far, to prove or verify your statment.
So, for all in intents and purposes, you have lost this argument.
Well, it'd be like if I said,
"On average, MAGA/Trump supporters can't afford to buy a decent computer."
...but of course, that is spurious statement especially if I don't provide proof or any statistics that it is true, right? and of course, it isn't true.
That's just a person talking out of the side of their mouth taking a swipe at someone because they don't like their political leanings.
Heres what this link sez:
As individual donors, conservatives are hearty givers—as made clear in this graph, the one previous, and many other data sets.
When it comes to running foundations, though, liberals tend to control the reins. Matched analyses of the major American foundations reported in the book The New Leviathan found 82 foundations whose staff took a clear conservative orientation in their giving, and 122 foundations whose staff operated with a clear liberal orientation. The conservative-controlled foundations had assets of $10 billion in 2010, from which they gave away $832 million annually. That same year, the liberal-controlled foundations had assets of $105 billion (more than ten times their conservative counterparts), and gave away $8.8 billion annually (11 times as much as conservative counterparts).
Many foundations end up espousing the priorities and orientations of their staff rather than the principles of the donor behind the foundation. As this has become more widely understood, some new foundations have made efforts to protect “donor intent” and be sure that funds are expended on causes compatible with the founder’s views. There has also been a sharp jump of interest in “sunset” foundations—which spend all their money relatively close to the donor’s lifetime, rather than existing in perpetuity, where capture by staff becomes almost inevitable. See the text accompanying Graph 18 for more details on sunsetting.
I have way more detailed statistics than that page.
And for more countries.
