[WS:] I agree, but these are the 1 percent that do not make statistical trends. The trends are made by the 99 percent i.e. folks making less than $300k or so. So would you agree with the following statement - the rich give for similar reasons but they are numerically few, whereas the poor give based on their social class affiliation - the lower rungs tend to give money because of their church affiliation whereas the higher rungs do not give but rather volunteer since work is associated with meritocracy.
In both cases the correlation between charity/volunteering and political orientation may be spurious - both are correlates of social class fraction and importance of church affiliation for those fractions. In any case, this is just a possible explanation of an apparent correlation.
