Why Be So Generous

From Shoebox at No Runny Eggs.

Those filthy cheep republicans,

oh so sorry,

it's the two at the top of the dem ticket.
"Joe Biden released 10 years of tax returns today. Joe would be considered amongst the wealthy, according to Barack Obama, as he’s averaged about $270,000 of income over the past five years. And, while Joe managed to pay nearly $185,000 in mortgage interest during that five years, he was only able to find $2,655 to give to charities! No, that’s not $260,000, it’s not even $26,000. Joe Biden gave $2,655 to charities over the past five years.

While Barack Obama has increased his charitable contributions since he has received a significant income bump from his book royalties, the maximum he and Michelle were unable to give prior to that bump was $3,400. In fact, prior to his bump, even though he and Michelle averaged over $240,000 per year, they could only find an average of $2,154 of contributions in the same years.

In Barack Obama’s mind the “wealthy” including himself and Joe Biden who make around $250,000 contribute less than 1% of their income to charity. In fact, in Joe Biden’s case the contribution is only .3% of his gross income." No Runny Eggs


Where is their compassion?

Why do they not give more to the poor.

Because their liberal and they don't have to.

They just want you to give more in taxes, don't you know.
