The release of Mitt Romney’s 2011 tax returns shows that he freely gave away more than $4 million to charity last year (about 30 percent of his income). In comparison, when Joe Biden was first running for vice president, his tax returns showed that he had given away just $3,690 to charity over the previous ten years (about 0.2 percent of his income). In other words, Romney gave away a thousand times as much to charity in one year as Biden gave in a decade.

perfect example of a huge difference between the liberal dems and the conservative repubs.
liberals want YOUR money to give away as they please and get credit for it so they will be re-elected aka buy votes.
conservatives give to their churches and charities from THEIR own money and they have better control as to where this money goes. NOT buying votes.
do you get it yet???

No.
I just think you make it up as you go along.
What 10:36 is saying is a real problem for charites, hospitals and universities. They are all saying if you raise the taxes on the wealthy they will suffer.
I personally know of someone who made 22 million last year, gave 6 million to a hospital down south and another 2million to a college. Another 5 million went into a family foundation that gives millions away a year in grants and donations. More than 1/2 went towards contributions of some sort. The foundation employes 1/2 doz full time people so it has created a few good paying jobs with benefits.
These are the types of people who are contributing to the economy by hiring painters, landscapers, handymen, housekeepers.
Wealthy people usually do not become wealthy by being frivolous. When they see their money being spent frivolously by the government they want to pick and choose themselves where it goes and how they feel it will be best utilized.
Obama built the deficit now he needs to fix it by not raising taxes otherwise the charities will be the ones to suffer and no one else.
I dont see why this is a big deal. He also probably made 1000 time more than Biden (who annoys the hell out of me by the way)
Plus most of his charitable contributions went to his mormon church.
Of course Obama didn't built the deficit. Math dictates that the statement is simply untrue.
In addition, in a land of so called Christians, why is it important to tell how much more one person gives than another. It is considered in the same light in God's eyes. There is a story about that in the Bible.
But hey, we all have to cling to something, right?
The Christians are not the ones screaming to see his tax returns. It's the democrats that want their nose in all his business. Funny they didn't seem to mind all the things Obama has hid yet they want to see all of Romney's information.
I will cling to my bible and 9:46 you can cling to your lies.
When they say he(Romney) gave to charity i'd be curious to know what charity? All i've heard is he has given money to the Mormon Church and by the looks of the Castle type structures they call churches they are'nt hurting for money..just saying. What do they do with the money?
i'd be curious to know what charity?
If you really wanted to know, you would have done a search and found out.
So, I don't think you cared one way or another.
To anonymous 11:26 how do you know i didn't google search it? The only charity(so to speak) i found was the Mormon church..needless to say i don't have the time to sit on my @ss and google things all day..nor do i care what you think,why not keep your pie-hole shut unless you have relevant information to add to the debate, being curious & really giving a sh#t are two dif. things.
"Of course Obama didn't built the deficit. Math dictates that the statement is simply untrue"
obama built the deficit like no other admin before him. and to top it off, being the common ignoramus that he is, is not one bit serious about doing something about it. The ghetto trash that he is doesn't even know the numbers because he's too busy hob nobbing with Jay Z who himself is common ghetto trash.
The Mormon Church has what is called LDS Humanitarian Services.
The church also considers humanitarian work to be essential.
ALL funding comes from church members and other doners.
There is also Mormon Helping Hands and a host of other LDS Philanthropies.
The Mormon Church in itself has saved the goverment billions throughout with their philanthropic endeavors.

Look for and find the facts. You will feel better afterwords. I promise.
I have 1:06 and I fact checked through FactCheck which by the way is a liberal organization funded by the Annenburg Public Policy center. SO HERE THEY ARE and I know how the liberals hate to hear this but-I TOLD YOU SO! Sucks to be wrong doesn't it? But let this be a lesson and next time you will think before shooting from the hip.
According to them---- "There’s no sugar-coating it, as some supporters of President Obama have tried to do. And the rapid rise in the debt is alarming enough without fabricating false statistics, as some Obama critics have done."
And-----"It’s not true, for example, that the debt has increased only 16 percent since Obama took office. That erroneous calculation originally came from the office of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. And — despite being corrected later — it has continued to circulate via email"
On the day obama took office debt stood at 10.6 trillion. It's now over 16 trillion. Obama has built the deficit more than (6 trillion) than any other president ever. During Bush's eight years in office the deficit rose 4.899 trillion.
Yes, Let's talk facts. The facts are that Obama in less than 4 yrs has increased the defict more than any other president. He's even got Bush beat who increase it less (a couple of trillion less) in 8 years than obama has done in 4
Nothing is going to make me feel better when there are people like you in the country who are so uninformed as to be pathetic.
the scariest part is that these dimwits that post these ignorant comments vote. may God help us.
