47. I hope at least they are all Dems or Progressives, voting for higher taxes on the wealthy.

It is depressing that helping kids, seniors, and the poor in this country depends on private charity or kowtowing to religious organizations.

If the people bitching that they gave too little at least have the consistency to vote for higher taxes on the wealthy, there's some consistency there.

But I'm betting a bunch of complainers are "lower my taxes" types who just don't like the couple's politics.
