I just love those who find it totally acceptable to take others money to help those in need. Especially when they practice what they preach by sacrificially giving their hard earned fortunes to set a good example.
Over the last 10 years, Joe Biden's total income was $2,450,042 and his total Charitable contributions during that 10 year period were $3,690. That's a whopping .0015%. That's right, less than 1%. His highest total for any 1 year was $995. Anyone want to guess what year that was? Imagine that, it was 2007 when he might have had politically motivated aspirations.
Our man Obama was much more generous delivering on his platform to redistribute wealth. Following are the last 6 years of O's tremendous sacrificial giving:
2006: 6.1%
2005: 4.7%
2004: 1.2%
2003: 1.4%
2002: 0.4%
2001: 0.5%
2000: 0.9%
Notice the step up in 05 and 06. Might his political aspirations motivated this obvious tremendous sacrificial financial comittment?
Yeah, 2 fine examples of proponents of wealth distribution, as long as it's not their own. Pitiful.
Oh, just in case you would like to know what those cheap, rich, elite Republican candidates gave:
In 2006, the Palins paid $4880 on a total gross income of 127,869, just under 4%. Not so great either however, at a much lower income, that 1 year surpassed Biden's 10 year total.
How about McCain. In 2007, his gross income was $405,409 and his charitable contributions were $105,467 or 26%. I know, I know GF, the majority of that went to Christain schools his kids attended. The fact remains, he voluntarily separated himself from 26% of his income.
It absolutely astounds me that these bleeding hearts can espouse this "We Care" rhetoric with that kind of charitable giving record. I'll give them 1 thing, they certainly have nads.
