I wonder if Jill knows about Joe's new plan to get the womens' vote.

Rather stark for a US Senator who can afford a family compound, who has one son who has been enriched by having a Senator as a father, and by having the drop-dead gorgeous wife who happens to be a Doctor. This miserly amount is all he can give as charity? 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. Don't so many on the left denigrate Americans as being cheap? Well, at least one Senator seems to fit that profile.

It would be sweet if there happened to be a question about “giving” in the VP debate, where this factoid could be worked in. The man is unbelievably cheap and self-centered, but then again he’s a liberal Democrat - we knew that already.
I wonder if Jill knows about Joe's new plan to get the womens' vote.
Oh come on, if “Stand up!” Joe had any money, he’d have a full head of hair by now.
This is typical for Dem candidates. Remember Al Gore gave about $250 one year while he was VP. One year while Senator, John Kerry gave nothing. Obama has also been a cheapskate. This is just SOP for the Dems. They only want to give Other People’s Money to charity.
Liberals are CHEAP.
LIBERALS want to spend YOUR MONEY; not theirs.
Read “Who Really Cares” by Arthur Brooks, a Syracuse prof, who was raised as a Dem. His research showed that religious people out-give secularists by 30% across all income strata. This applies not only to money, but also to things like time, giving blood, etc. The Dems are primarily secularists, and so they, as a group, give much less than Republicans.
About what you’d expect of a pro-abortion “Catholic.”
Three days before he took the oath for Vice President, Cheney donated $7.8 million to charity, his entire Halburton holdings. Cheney received no income tax deduction for that donation
Jerk Biden is a tightwad sack of jackass manure.
Some Catholic he is , quite some tithe . Maybe his abortion stance was a clue .
Does anyone know about this???? This was emailed to me...
This came from a reliable personal contact......draw your own conclusions...
If you are a crook people will find out.*
I feel an obligation to honesty and truth to share with you some facts. My Father and Mother instilled in me the values and morals of treating people fairly and always being honest. If you purchase something, you pay for it.
If you borrow something, you give it back.
I have been “stiffed” three times in my 30 year professional career by someone who I rendered services to, gave a finished product to, but who refused to pay for those services even though they acknowledged the services
and products were correct, were what they asked for, and were never challenged for not being correct. I am lucky in having only three, but those thre e hurt badly.
Joe Biden was one of those people. I worked on his 1988 Presidential campaign financial disclosure engagement. I busted it for him and got everything right. He stiffed me for over $15,000 worth of work. He refused to pay once he dropped out of the race. I did similar Capitol Hill campaign
financial disclosure work for Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan, and a Democratic candidate for Ambassador to New Zealand. All of those folks paid even though they lost the election or did not get the appointment. That type of work is very demanding and very tedious because your efforts are scrutinized by Congress.
Biden did not care.
I am on the Board of Directors of a company that owns a majority position in a private jet management company in Northern Virgi nia . They manage jets for businesses and rich folks. They also charter planes to the public.
This past winter John Thompson chartered over $250,000 worth of air time.
He paid every penny.
Joe Biden, in his latest unsuccessful run for President, chartered over $150,000 worth of air time. He PAID ZERO. He continues to refuse to pay stating his race is over and he is out of money. He never once complained about his flights. Joe Biden is a rich man. He could pay.
Joe Biden is a liar and a cheat. I know it first hand. Character is what life is all about. Joe Biden is a man of bad character and sets a bad example for America.
I feel compelled to share this dark side of a man who asks for your vote and trust.

Wonder if he wrote off his underwear?
"Stand up Chuck"
Cripes, I give more just by donating my unsold yard sale stuff to the DAV store every year.
Dude, we gave more to charity than Biden did and he makes like seven times more than we do. However, I don’t track my charitable giving, I give cash to church, write checks sometimes and never keep receipts from donations. Part of it’s intentional, I’m not donating to reap the tax benefits. So while Biden declares less than he gives, it’s possible that he gave much more, but does so privately.
I am trying to think of the kindest possible way to look at this.......
Well that’s what I was wondering. Do those amounts include tithing? Or is this seperate from tithing? I’m not catholic, what do they do, pass a plate or what? If so are we sure Biden wasn’t taking some out as it passed by him?
Cheez, I tithe more than that to my church. What cheapskates they are!
Are he and Hillary related?
I feel sorry for Joe Biden, for he looks very pitiful, and it makes me want to cry.
I am not sure of the mechanics . My Catholic friends pay what amounts to a tithe . My church leader is not shy about reminding you about the blessings you are about to lose if you don’t pay 10% of your increase .
