Sounds legit.

Most people don't disclose their voting predilections when giving to charity.
KU is right on par with Notre Dame ... when it comes to adding additional conference revenue
Beer pro tip: never drink anything other than BL, coors, pbr, maybe a few others that I'm forgetting

I would bet that a very small amt of ppl actually tithe 10%.
Sure. If you are going to cherry pick, that would be the best to cherry pick of the 50 states, I would imagine. I would also imagine mormonism, as well as how strictly they practice, drops as you get a little bit away from the Great Salt Lake.

With 7B people on the planet, population control is just the next evolutionary step to preservie the species.
How about we don't give tax incentives for either of those
Tax incentives for kids makes sense from the govt's perspective. Future tax payers, etc. Just like it makes sense to subsidize ed as much as possible to max earnings.

I did not know this, it's odd that this was so recent within the context of world history yet there is so much debate about what happened and what didn't.

I could be wrong though. I'm just saying it could make sense.I quoted you to affirm your point. The assumption that Republicans are more likely to regularly attend church services is likely correct, so the next assumption that there are more republicans giving in church is reasonable. But many republicans won't concede that it's possible to be a democrat and to attend church. I still contend that the "fact" that Republicans give more is total crap and there's a reason why there's no concrete evidence of it being so.
