None of this is terribly persuasive. Dollars to doughnuts that $263 is going primarily to a church, which may or may not be using it to do good works.

As far as giving to the homeless goes, I thought that only encouraged them. That aside, does the survey account for the fact that the "pull up your sockser" is less likely to live in an urban environment where he is confronted with such requests several times a day. Would they return change as quickly to the Mexican kid at McDonald's as to the blue haired lady at the local diner?

Not everyone gets to give blood.

Great points; I offered this link as a defense against the stereotype that conservatives are stingy and heartless.......

Just because someone doesn't think the government should do something doesn't mean they don't think something should be done
