To be fair, I think that brings up an important point about charity. The reason Utahans give so much to charity is that Mormons give 10% of their income to the Mormon church. I think religious charities may account for a good percentage of Republican charitable giving.
This is the card in the deck that tilts the "charitable giving" statistic in favor of Republicans. It's dishonest once you think about it.
All right, let's just accept this unsubstantiated claim as fact. Thank God we don't have to consider the possibility that Republicans
aren't inferior to us progressives in every way!
