[quote=AN] I don’t know if anyone that’s righteous enough to give up free money. [/quote]
That’s probably because you only hang out with right-wingers. The right-wing has somehow come to equate greed with patriotism.
The liberals that I hang out with give generously of their time and money to causes they believe in. Liberals believe in old-fashioned patriotism which involves sacrificing for one’s country.
