I’ll jump on the “not surprising” band wagon – liberals in general want all of that done by the government.

I don’t find it that ironic or hypocritical. This is anecdotal, but I’ve read liberals bemoaning an increase in charitable giving, because its success will make taxpayers even more averse to government spending, which will then subject those receiving the charity to the polical views of the donors. In other words, they believe it is better for people to get money from the government than from charitable citizens, because government money comes from liberals and private money comes from conservatives.

Or to summarize the findings:
Conservatives are those who give freely of their own money.
Liberals are those who would freely give other’s money.
