With money that obviously came out of other peoples' pockets, not that this has anything to do with being a liberal or a conservative. What does distinguish Dolly from a creep like Trump is that she was generous, not a taker.

How much have you given to charity, WWW? Do you reduce your taxes with charitable donations?

Came out of other people pockets? You mean money Dolly was paid for her performances, her talent and her determination.

So getting paid for your talent or skill is a Liberal thing? I'll have to remember to thank them.
You're not easy getting through to. Your original point was a sneer at those living off the dole, suggesting they were liberals. In fact, liberals outdistance Right wingers in earned income by a wide margin.
She also turned down Biden.
Parton refused to meet trump, BEFORE he was in politics. There is some reason celebrities avoided him.
Parton met Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Obama, she did not meet Bush the Younger. Then when trump came to office, she stopped meeting presidents.
