Considering that they reportedly gave 20k to Wright’s church, and if this is the ONLY charity they gave to, their income would be $2mil, right?

S20,000 is what they should have given to their church if their income was S200,000... if they gave 1 percent to charity, i suppose their income would be more than 2 million because i do not think they only gave to their church... 1 percent from this couple that is asking their followers to stay out of Corporate America is pathetic...

...Congress also gave the IRS authority to deny deductions for items of "minimal monetary value"--such as socks...

What if someone were to donate a pair of black, calf-length socks, and they were then auctioned for $4300 on eBay. Would the deduction limit still apply?

What a generous couple, Obama and Michelle. 1 percent. I can see why he is a man of the disenfranchised. It’s easy when your using other peoples monies to enhance you ambitions.

Why the hubbub? What don’t you right wing Freepers understand? It is not the responsibility of the individual to help his neighbor in need. It is the responsibility of the village. Haven’t you heard of our motto...from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs?

Obama, Obama, Obama!

I just read a 2006 article by MSNBC.

Here is the title.

“Bush, Cheney’s tax returns made public
Vice president reports higher adjusted gross income of $8.8 million”

Now way down at the very end - “The Cheneys donated just under $6.87 million to charity from the stock options and royalties from Mrs. Cheney’s books. That left about $1.9 million in income on which the Cheney’s owed $529,636 in taxes.”

It’s so obvious, the way articles are written to hide anything good a republican does.

Even so, they beat the Exalted Pastor of Carbon Dioxide and Nobel Laureate, who gave about $570 to charity in one year.

But since the High Priest of the Congregation of Global Warming Algore is reputed to have made over $100 mil from his carbon credit activities, maybe he can give more.

Say $1000 per year?

It was a 200,000 dollar raise from 114,000 to 318,000 after her husband was elected senator. Hmmm

You’re right.

See my post 75.

Mrs. Hussein got a $200,000 raise.

The hospital got a million dollar earmark courtesy of Mr. Hussein.

Everybody’s a winner. Except the taxpayers.

The skerrys weren’t so giving. When MSM found out, the whole idea of “how much giving” was dropped like hot potatoes.

Sorry about the double posting. Between my fingers being faster than my brain and a quick distraction, lo and behold a double posting.

Interesting. I would like to see more coverage of it.

I also want to see Hillary and McCain's taxes and the medical records of all three. At the least POTUS should be in good health both mentally and physically.
