I know. Since when is Republican synonymous with cold-hearted a-hole that doesn't believe in giving back to charity? I'm a Republican and I give tons of money to charity. In fact, I'm a sucker when it comes to giving. All you have to do is approach me and ask. That's why my fiance was afraid to move to a semi-big city with me because he knew that anyone who would ask would get something from me. I take real offense to that statement that because you vote Democrat, you must be "doing your part" AOII. I'm really disappointed in your assumptions-and I usually agree with much of what you say.

I'm not talking about giving to charity with the democratic comment, als. That's why I made those two distinct ways that I put my money where my mouth is. I'm talking about supporting welfare programs through taxes. Read the whole comment stream between PIKA and I. We were discussing my tax cut thanks to the Republicans. I said that the tax cut for the top 2% was ridiculous, which is why I commented that I do my part about the tax issue by voting Democratic. It's hard to keep up when you come in at the end of a discussion.
