t r u t h o u t | America's Poor Are Its Most Generous Givers
Jun 3, 3:54am    (11 reviews)  non-profit  http://www.truthout.org/052009LA
This study does not shock me in any way. The rich also seem to complain more about "tough" economic conditions as well. From the page: " America's poor donate more, in percentage terms, than higher-income groups do, surveys of charitable giving show. What's more, their generosity declines less in hard times than the generosity of richer givers does. "
