Interesting pattern, isn't it? The ones who complain the most about "people living off them and not working" and about "blue states", are the ones who live in the states that receive it the most.

GENERAL — 23/262 — Donor

In today's language, a sponsor. It referred to a wealthy nobleman or burgher who expended resources on the construction or acquisition of some material estate, and then, together with a deed of gift, donated it to someone else. In the context of the Middle Ages, we are mainly talking about church patrons. Through donations, most monasteries were built, or for example, the Church of St. Barbara in Kuttenberg, where altars were dedicated to the most generous patrons. Being a patron was a matter of both prestige and faith: whoever sponsored the church had a prepaid place in the kingdom of heaven. By making a donation, a wealthy sponsor committed not only to the purchase or construction itself but also to the subsequent maintenance and operation.

TRIVIA — Pope Julius II (pontificate 1503 - 1513) is remembered as one of the most ambitious patrons of the Renaissance. His name is tied inseparably to Michelangelo, whom he first commissioned to design his own monumental tomb that was to hold forty life-sized statues. Though the project was curtailed, their unsteady relationship produced other iconic masterpieces. Julius forced Michelangelo, against the artist’s own wishes, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel between 1508 and 1512. Michelangelo once fled Rome in frustration, only to be summoned back under threat of excommunication.
