Romney doubles Obama's charitable giving

[joe bloe]

Mitt Romney gave $4,020,772 to charity in 2011; that's 30% of his income, and paid $1,900,000 in taxes. It should be noted, that once again, Obama gave nothing to family members that live in third world poverty.

Romney doubles Obama's charitable giving

Mitt Romney's presidential campaign is releasing a brief summary of 20 years of tax returns on Friday, and his accountant says it will show he gave 13.45 percent of his adjusted gross income to charities.
That's nearly twice the rate of President Obama, who according to his tax returns from 2000 through 2011 donated just less than 7 percent of his adjusted gross income to charities.
Mr. Romney's campaign did not release his returns, but instead had his trustee, Brad Malt, write a blog post giving some details of returns from 1990 through 2009.
The campaign has released Mr. Romney's 2010 return and, later Friday, will release his 2011 return, which he filed with the IRS earlier in the day.
That return will show Mr. Romney and his wife Ann paid $1.9 million in taxes on income of $13.7 million, for a rate of 14.1 percent, Mr. Malt said. Most of that income is from investments, which are usually taxed at a lower rate than salary or wages.

$1,900,000 to Charity????

But isn't that a "redistribution" of wealth???? Doesn't that go to the 47%???

Lame.

Let me try to make this as simple as possible.

Charity is good. Private charities operate with much less overhead than the government and with much less waste. Most money spent by the government for social welfare programs is wasted on administrative costs or stolen by welfare fraud.

A confiscatory progressive income tax, taken against your will, to be squandered on wasteful inefficient government programs is bad.

If you can't understand the difference, I pity you.

It's a redistribution of wealth any way you slice it joe. Voluntary vs non voluntary. It's still redistribution. A rich person gives their money to less fortunate (the 47%).

If you can't get that thru your head, I pity YOU.

All kidding aside; you are genuinely stupid.

It's a religious tithe. He's a bishop in the Mormon religion. Obama isn't a wealthy (w@@@@) guy from a wealthy family.

Why not compare apples to apples.

Oh, and HUZZAH for Romney! He released last year's tax return. Fucker probably just filed.

Pot calling the kettle Joe.

You are the biggest idiot in this forum. You set yourself up for failure with every post.

And you never seen to tire of being wrong.

Are we supposed to be impressed? Frankly, I don't give a shit if either gave a nickel to charity.
