Shameless plug for a good cause

Um, is that supposed to be some sort of news flash? Richer people give a higher portion of their income to charity? Snoooooze.

A second survey, this one conducted in 2002, found that people who believe that "people should take care of themselves" accounted for 25% of the population — but gave 31% of America's blood.

A third survey found that people who believe that the government "spends too much on welfare" were more likely to give directions to someone on the street, return extra change to a cashier, or to give food or money to a homeless person.

A fourth found that a poor family that worked for its income donated three times as much money as a family that received an exactly equal income from welfare.

What does income have to do with blood donations and giving directions?

Also note that two families with identical income; the family who works for their money donates 3X the amount that the family who gains it from welfare.
