.. Carter is known for his giving of
his TINE as well as his talents and treasures. I know of no one else in
politics on either side of the aisle that does that.

I don 't care what part of his forks he parts with, tines or otherwiseg.
He is a truly great man, however, you are right!

BTW, you'd have to be a heartless ******* NOT to give to charity, and you
should give as much as you can. JMO, of course.

And a fine, and generous one, at that. Now, about picking on Mark.......

As I suspected, the poor states, having relatively lower populations
and low mean icomes, are distorted by the donations of the high income
earners in those states. This site has the answer in it's
spreadsheets of over $200K and all returns. The high income earners
in these poor states are amongst the largest givers. That has a
disporpotionate effect vs. wealthy states. In high income states, the
largest earners don't have the same distorting effects. Too bad they
don't have a spreadsheet for the under $200K returns as that would be
far more meaningful.

It's the problem when mean is used to produce an index like this.

Or it could be another dynamic at work.... poor folk, knowing what it
feels
like to be poor, have a stronger motivation to give.

Oh you could be right, the problem is, the data provided doesn't tell
you which is which. If they had provided the median level of
donations, the picture might be the same or very different. In
lightly populated, poor state, a single, big donation could seriously
distort the average for that state.

Well, I know this is a day late and a dollar short, but I'm not going to
read through all this post. However, has anyone considered whether ot not
church donations are part of this dataset? If so, that might explain the
distribution of the data...

Maybe you should have read through all the posts ;)

Actually, I only needed to read the next post, which I did immediately after
posting. Damn, where's that delete button when you need it??

There's the cancel feature, but that's been pretty useless for several
years, as most ISPs won't honour them, due to too many forged cancels.

You mean folks would try to cancel other people's posts?

I have never succeeded in recalling a post to any newsgroup. Gave up
trying.
