No, you have it mixed up, Democrats RECEIVE welfare! :P ;D ;) :D :)
Yes, I meant that as a joke, but I am sure somewhere there is a survey of how welfare recipients voted, and i'll bet that survey is 89 percent democratic, 10 percent republicans (all voting the morals angle, not the money one), and one percent independent\hippy,

I was born and raised in NH (Live free or die, baby), and I can see how it would make sense that NH would be near the bottom of the giving rank. After you're done paying the property taxes and the heating bills, there's not much left. What is left gets saved. In my experience, people there are pretty fiscally conservative.

So it isn't the amount each state donates, but the percentage of their income they are willing to give to charity.
Generosity Index 2004
This is not a chart designed by an out of work guy from Denmark, this is a REAL chart, based on what every tax payer put down on their tax returns. Unlike IQ tests, which only shows the stats of the people that actually take the IQ test, this shows EVERYONE in that state.
An I.Q. if you believe the test results are accurate, are something you are born with. Generosity is something you choose.
What traits are more important are up to you, but how people treat those less fortunate is high on my list.

just as an aside to this, an IQ test doesn't tell you that much. and you can improve your IQ performance with practice. so it isn't measuring something you are born with...
