Do the Poor Give More Than the Rich?

Since the recession, the rich have benefited most from financial gains, but interestingly, at the same time, it's the poor who upped their giving during that period while higher-income people gave less, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Using IRS data, the Chronicle found that between 2006 and 2012, the lowest-income Americans bumped up the share of their incomes that they gave to charity, but as they went up the income ladder, the charitable giving grew smaller and smaller.
