#1 "people on the right don’t care."

IIRC the studies show the 'right' gives more to charities than the 'left'. The Left simply uses the public treasury ie 'other peoples money' to do their 'charity'. When you use your own money, you take care on how effective the money is employed and that there are results. When you use other people's money, you don't care about how it is used or if it is effective. It's about feelings not about results.

#2 The statistics show that conservatives give both more money and more of their personal time to charity, and both to individual charitable efforts as well as formal ones, yes.

#3 Milton Friedman on spending:

The 4 Ways Of Spending
1) Spend your own money on yourself. You will expect good value.
2) Spend your own money on somebody else. You won't care about value so much.
3) Spend somebody else’s money on yourself. You still won't care about value so much.
4) Spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. You won't care about value at all.

#4 I read this and tried to see what was the ONE WRONG PREMISE but I couldn't identify it.

There are many things wrong with socialism but it depends on what the socialist advocate thinks socialism is.
