OBirds Of A Feather Don't Donate Together


Jennifer Rubin flags the TaxProf's analysis of Joe Biden's miserly donations to the poor:

Joe Biden today released ten years of his personal income tax returns, drawing further attention to the tax issues raised by Sarah Palin’s tax problems associated with her per diem reimbursements while governor of Alaska. I wonder, though, if the move might backfire because the returns show that the Bidens have been amazingly tight-fisted when it comes to their charitable giving. Despite income ranging from $210,432 - $321,379 over the ten-year period, the Bidens have given only $120 - $995 per year to charity, which amounts to 0.06% - 0.31% of their income.

Obama's history is also one of being a charitable tightwad. Unsurprisingly enough.

And this is the best the Dems can give us.

Thanks but no thanks.
