More evidence that liberalism is just a gigantic con job.

Quote from bigarrow:

Please post your source. I know many poor saps who give 10+% of their working man wages to the church for new parking lots and building expansions. And these donations count as charity.

Source: "Who Really Cares" by Arthur C. Brooks and James Q. Wilson. The authors approached the issue with the same assumptions that Future Currents expresses. Analysis of multiple sources of independently collected data proved their assumptions to be wrong to the point that they even did a repeat analysis and found that indeed the conventional wisdom was wrong.

Quote from futurecurrents:

You think doing what Jesus would do is horrible socialism. You think aid to the needy -best delivered via the big bad govt - should be cut. Typical hypocritical, religious righty.

WASHINGTON -- Weeks after Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) made headlines for suggesting low-income students sweep cafeteria floors to learn there's "no such thing as free lunch," Savannah TV station WSAV 3 looked at the "free lunches" Kingston himself has received as a member of Congress.

There's no precise way to count the number of lunches Kingston has enjoyed on taxpayer dollars, but the station took a look at expense reports and disclosures to uncover staggering figures from the congressman's three years in office.

According to the station's investigation, Kingston and his staff have expensed $4,182 worth of "meals for business purposes," and recorded $4,289.33 in free meals from third-party interest groups, including the Congressional Institute and the Georgia Bankers Association.

As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Kingston has traveled to four continents, racking up $24,313 in per diem allowances. While the allowances were allotted for more than just lunch money, midday meals were included.
