I choose to believe my eyes and ears more than a possibly flawed or purposly biased piece of research.

The glaring inharent flaw of the research quoted is that it is all about money.
There are many many other ways to give.
But a conservative minded person would think maninly of money.
A liberal person is much less inclined to believe that money is the answer.

Did Gandhi give money ????

Giving money to a church is not compassion.
Its because the preacher says you will go to hell if you dont.

Giving money by a lot of businesses is not compassion.
Its trying to look better than what they are.

Giving money by anyone that gets recorded by someone else is really not compassion.
Its ego stroking.

.......

The reason this idea became a topic of discussion is because it does not conform to
most peoples common sense ideas of liberalism and conservatism.
