Why do obama and biden want to give your money away when they only donate less than 1% to charities.?

Why do obama and biden want to give your money away when they only donate less than 1% to charities.?

obama gives average 3500 a year when he is making 4 to 6 million a year

Biden gives 369 dollars a year when they take in 360 thousand a year

MCain gives 202 thousand a year when he makes 440 thousand a year.

Cindy, who has nothing to do with this gives 10 to 20% of her income each and every year.

below are the sources AND their tax returns.

These figres are FROM their own tax returns.

So, if its partiotic to pay taxes, wouldnt it be MORE patriotic to give to charites?

seems the dems have NO problem spending YOUR money, but do NOT touch theirs!!!

Biden and his wife, Jill, earned $319,853 in adjusted gross income and paid $72,787 in federal taxes last year, including $2,721 in alternative minimum taxes. They claimed $995 in deductions for charitable giving, about triple what they deducted in any of the nine previous years. Over the past decade they reported giving an average of $369 to charity.

Sen. Barack Obama released seven years of prior tax return documents on Tuesday. And a review of the records reveals several newsworthy, albeit minor, disclosures.

Up until recent years when their income increased sharply from book revenues and a Senate salary, Obama's family donated a relatively minor amount of its earnings to charity. From 2000 through 2004, the senator and his wife never gave more than $3,500 a year in charitable donations -- about 1 percent of their annual earnings.

there only 2 charities were Rev Wright and the United N E G R O S fund.

Mccain on the other hand donates 1/4th of his income and Cindy donates 10 to 20 % of her income.

John McCain reported giving more than $202,000 — a quarter of his income — to charity in 2006 and 2007, the only years for which his campaign released his tax returns. His campaign didn't release information about his wife's charitable contributions, however. In 2006, her total itemized tax deductions, a category which includes charitable contributions and other deductible items such as mortgage interest, was $569,737, or 9.3% of her income.

    Democrats don't have faith in inner maximum charities, so your question is beside the point. the government must be the only single-payer charity, with politicians determining who the recipients must be, so all people who will pay taxes is patriotic and charitable by ability of the democrat definition (and quite suggested by ability of vice chairman Biden). in the event that they might strengthen all taxes and outlaw charities, they could do it in a split 2d!

    I don't donate a penny to charities so I really don't care what anybody else does. Why would I?

    I pay my taxes so we shouldn't need charities. isn't that what the government is for?

    How did I violate the TOS on this answer?

    Whoa... they don't want to give away THEIR money...

    They want to give away OUR money....

    Obama to Joe the Plumber:

    "I don't begrudge you an honest days pay for an honest days work [wow!!! thanks Barry] But [here it comes] It's better for EVERYBODY when we SPREAD [your] the wealth around".

    Really? Better for everyone?

    Not for JOE or his wife... or his kids, or his Butcher, baker or candle-stick maker... or insurance agent or car dealership...

    What a clueless clueless president.

    I thought I'd never see someone who could TOP CARTER in my lifetime... Boy was I wrong.

    I am not sure where your stats come from but they are dead wrong.

    http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/861627...

    He gave $240,000 plus he donated his nobel peace prize money. How could you right wing nuts forget that? In 2005 they gave $77,000.
