President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama earned $5.5 million in 2009, most of which came from the sale of Mr. Obama's books, according to tax returns made public by the White House Thursday.

The couple paid nearly $1.8 million in federal income taxes and $163,000 in state income taxes. They donated about $329,000 to 40 different charities, in addition to Mr. Obama's donation of his $1.4 million Nobel Prize money, which he gave to 10 charities.

The Obamas' largest single contributions to charity were $50,000 each to CARE, an organization fighting global poverty, and the United Negro College Fund.

Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his wife Jill reported a joint income of $333,000, giving $4,820 -- 1.44 percent -- of that to charity.

Estimates by charitable donations find that most givers donate between 3 and 5 percent of their salaries.

The Bidens paid $71,000 in federal income taxes, and more than $12,000 in taxes to Delaware and nearly $1,500 in Virginia.

Liberals don't believe in giving their money to charity they give other peoples money like yours and mine and then claim they did a good deed and ask for more votes because they a so generous.

How about nobody runs for office in the U.S. unless he first takes an oath of poverty and gives away all his stuff to the poor?

Not a sign of good decision making. I doubt that kind of candidate would be viable.

Surely that depends on your individual values.

Viable?  He'd be incorruptible.

Silly boy.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

You have just described Robespierre, known as "The Uncorruptable"

Don't need that.

I bet that Biden gave a much higher percentage of his income to charity than Rupert Murdock, Rush Limbaugh, Mitch McConnell or Glenn Beck.

The Murdock Family is well represented in philanthropic circles.

I would bet you are wrong

And I'd bet that Xo would come up with some spin to rationalize it    


I think we could also bet that Xo will make some vain pithy snarky comment about moronic behavior and/or something Rush/Beck related

Rush Announces eBay Charity Auction of Harry Reid's Letter

LMFAO.  XO compared Biden to FOUR different cryptofascists and so far only ONE of them was even half-assedly disputed.  (The Murdoch family's charitable endeavours were discussed, but without any reference to what percentage of their vast incomes went to charity.)  This leaves THREE cryptofascists that (apart from the charity auction of a politically-charged letter of dubious value) didn't even generate a half-assed rebuttal.

Of course, in the conservative school of simple arithmetic for the logically challenged, this adds up to a stunning victory for the cryptofascists and a smashing defeat for XO.

Glenn Beck is Mormon, Mitch McConnell is Baptist.

Both of those routinely tithe 10% of their incomes.
