Think about it, the wealthy arn't stupid (the vast majority aren't, admit it), so they do understand the benefits that come from charity. But when you're asked to give to a group that's hissing at you and yelling about how you're nothing but a amoralistic thief who's only good deed would be handing over the cash and shutting up, you tend to shut the door and lock it. I'm saying that the antipathy the liberal party generates toward the wealthy is extremely counter productive, that's all.
