Can we talk about Obama's & Biden's very small charitable contributions again?

Yes we can talk about it.

I can't help but notice that the Obamabots have no responses other than to toss out insults. Facts are facts, the government has no business in determining to decide who I DONATE to through forced taxation. Nor, should they be in charge of that decision making on my behalf.

I donate to several charities a year, because I want to, not because it's forced on me through government laws and coercion. I'm also NOT a socialist and am a strong believer in a free market without governmental interference or help: without tax breaks, without favoritism, without bailouts. Let the free market do what it's supposed to do and we can all do well. Get the government out of our lives.

It's government interference that has created this catastrophe and it's more government rules, regulations, and growth, that will make it fester even more than it is now.

Obama proposes Marxism - Marxism equals more government, larger government, more dependency, more control. Where does it end?

Now, down to individual charitable contributions: I suggest that they lead by example. Their example and not the government's.

The government just doled out $700 billion in charitable contributions to undeserving financial institutions when it should have rescued homeowners who were losing their homes. And this was all done by conservatives helping their own, of course.

People want jobs and to be safe from terrorist attacks they don't care who gets audited by the IRS. Few people have any sympathy for those who get political welfare and tax breaks while most of us are taxed to death in this country. Next year, we should all file a 501 C-4 form and claim we are a political organization which prevents the IRS from auditing us. It would be a perfect way to laundry money.

Once the government gets a dollar, only about 32 cents of it ever sees it's way back into the economy. Imagine them overseeing charities?

BTW** Obama will no longer allow the charitable donation exemption. That guy is freaking brilliant! *sic*

O and his squeeze make 40 times more than i and I gave 1/2

what they did,

In 2004 Gov S of California gave the same as Kerry's wife who

in more than 40 time richer,

I just watched a speech by Joe Biden and this is exactly what he said on saturday november 1st at 3:33 PM central time in Marion, Ohio!!!!:

"Barack was raised by a single mother and a set of grandparents who moved from the Midwest to Hawaii to help maintain his ability to be raised in a decent environment."

Did he just slam the entire Midwest?! Wow! Unbelievable!

Thanks!

Obama never said government will oversee charitable contributions.

Obama's wants to spread EVERYONE ELSES wealth.

McCain donated 26% of his income to charity.

Charity should be VOLUNTARY, and not MANDATED.

We'll get taxed for sure........but there's no guarantee the Government will actually spread it.

What are you talking about? I've been donating money to a foundation for years and never ran into problems.....

Sure.

It's easy to be charitable with other people's money!
