Red states give more to charity. It’s because of religion. Blue States Are the Blue States Greediest

The Washington Post reports:
Wealthier Americans gave less to charity in 2012 than they did in 2006, while poorer Americans gave more, a new analysis from The Chronicle of Philanthropy indicates. It's the most recent look at giving from the periodical, and that gap in giving -- particularly given the recession that occurred between those two years -- is what jumped out to them.

Something else caught our attention. Of the states that gave the most to charity in 2012, the top 17 all voted for Mitt Romney that year. The bottom seven states in giving all voted for Obama.
Are Obama states greedy???
