Answer 1

Is the writer of that article confusing 'conservatives' with Republicans?  If that is the case, then the reason Republicans give more is their average income is higher.  They go to church (automatic tithe), and they use it for a nice tax write off.  

I'm just guessing though.  

Answer 2

When I've donated blood they never asked me what political party I belonged to.  

Answer 3

Nope no write off for blood or time, and you haven't proven anything with your popular opinion book.

Sorry.

Answer 4

You have the wrong talking points.  You are supposed to say that cutting taxes for the gazillionaires will trickle down to the po' folks.  I know you're working hard, but watch it next time.

Answer 5

No tax write off.

Cons feel they must give back, its just a mind set; to bring others along with them. Giving of time, talent or treasure.

Answer 6

I donate my time driving a grader for the locale road association and yes I can write it off. I don't because I do a short form for taxes. You can write off the mileage to drive to the blood bank.
