Hi all, I'm looking for a discussion from late last year about charitable giving divided up by political affiliation. It talked about how liberal households tend to earn a bit more, but give a bit less. There were alot of comments on it but now I can't find it. Any help is appreciated.

But don't confuse charitable giving with acting charitably.
