THE FUNDIES DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ECONOMICS

but I was a little surprised about this finding by John C. Green, Robert P. Jones, and Daniel Cox in
"Faithful, Engaged, and Divergent:
A Comparative Portrait of Conservative and Progressive Religious
Activists in the 2008 Election and Beyond
"

Role of Government and Taxes.
Sixty‐eight percent of progressive religious activists believe government should increase spending and provide more services; 89% say tax cuts should be directed toward lower income people. By even larger margins, conservative religious activists believe that government should provide fewer services and cut spending (86%). Sixty‐one percent back tax cuts targeted at upper‐income individuals.
