I gave at the office

Well, well, well.

In a stunning turn of events that should surprise absolutely no one, the Chronicle of Philanthropy is reporting today that red states are more charitable than blue ones. Read about it here.

The eight states whose residents gave the highest share of their income — Utah, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Idaho, Arkansas and Georgia — all backed McCain in 2008. Utah leads charitable giving, with 10.6 percent of income given.
And the least generous states — Wisconsin, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire — were Obama supporters in the last presidential race. New Hampshire residents gave the least share of their income, the Chronicle stated, with 2.5 percent.
It's high time liberals with their smug little noses in the air, quit demanding that conservatives give money to the government. Conservatives give at the office, they give at church and they give at home.

Liberals, on the other hand, take at the office -- you can find the last bastion of liberals who are actually employed working for vaunted organizations like the Department of Motor Vehicles; and everywhere else. We're subsidizing their housing, their educations and sometimes, even their cell phones.

And in return, we are beaten with their snobbery about how we should help the less fortunate by paying higher taxes. 

Exasperating.
