Bidens Increase Charitable Donations to 1.87 Percent of Income ("Generous Joe" Biden)
Weekly Standard ^ | 4/12/2013 | Daniel Halper

This year, Joe and Jill Biden increased their charitable donations from 1.5 percent of their income to 1.87 percent.

"The Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden also released their 2012 federal income tax returns, as well as state income tax returns for both Delaware and Virginia. The Bidens filed joint federal and combined Delaware income tax returns. Dr. Biden filed a separate non-resident tax return for the state of Virginia. Together, they reported adjusted gross income of $385,072. The Bidens paid $87,851 in total federal tax for 2012. They paid $13,531 in Delaware income tax and $3,593 in Virginia income tax. The Bidens contributed $7,190 to charity in 2012," writes the White House, summarizing the Bidens' income tax return.

That means the Bidens donated 1.87 percent of their income to charity.

He's for the little guy, you know.

Then again, he must have to spend a lot of money on psychiatric treatment.

Most commie lib ‘RATS believe that giving to charity and the poor is something foghorn politicians are supposed to do with other people’s money. They sure as heck aren’t going to do it with their own money.

Together, they reported adjusted gross income of $385,072.

And yet he thinks nothing of spending roughly that same amount on a single night in London and sticking the taxpayers with the bill. Just wow.

They paid 27% total taxes. But the Occupiers believe the rich should pay at least 50%. And, according to obama and Biden, they are rich.

As for charity, I gave a higher percentage than that and I’m poor.

I make a decent living, but less than the Bidens, to be sure.....and donated several times that amount (I know; just did my taxes yesterday).

Libs talk a good show but do nothing. Conservatives actually DO.

It proves that they’re driven by envy, not charity.

At Thanksgiving, a bunch of us tried to explain to the lunatic members of the family that conservatives give more to charity.

No luck.

Don't know, but $2,000 of their "charitable contributions" was for donated items to Goodwill.

I’m wondering if this includes the donation of used underwear, a tax deduction listed by the Clintons.

Liberals are always like this. It’s up to the state to donate. You would think that old Catholic Joe would know about that whole 10% thingy.
