Tax return data for both President Obama and Vice President Biden
has been released. What is appalling, and what should be extremely
embarrassing, is the paltry amount that Joe Biden typically gives to
charity. This year greedy Joe donated a miniscule .70 percent of his
income to charity. What is truly amazing is that this is a much higher
amount than is typical for him and is the highest amount that he has
given for over a decade. In fact from 1998 to 2008 this was the only
year where he gave more than .31 percent to charity. Over the last
11-years stingy Joe gave, on average, a measly .19 percent of his
income to help others. A summary of the data can be seen here.
Of course this is consistent with the progressive movement’s definition
of generocity which is measured by the extent to which you are willing
to give away other people’s money.
