"Meg's Greenbacks and Poizner's Fund Lacks"

Is Meg Whitman too green for the conservative core of the Republican Party?

Wednesday the San Jose Mercury News released the news that eMeg has offered $200,000 to the Environmental Defense Fund from her charitable foundation, $100,000 more than what was first thought.

Then there is Steve Poizner’s Charitable Foundation accounting numbers.

While all of the attention is on Meg’s gifts to environmental causes, nobody has asked the obvious question: “Why does Steve Poizner’s charitable foundation only have $7,000 as its balance?” How can a millionaire have such a small amount of cash in his (and his wife’s) charitable foundation?

Here is a successful businessman who sold two separate lots of QUALCOMM stock in 2000, with 67 other business partners, for a pre-taxed total of a reported $250 million. Why does he only have $7,000 ($14,000 before 2008) in his charitable foundation?

Or better yet, is Steve Poizner as wealthy as he has been reported being?
