http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/17/news/la-pn-romney-obama-tax-charity-20120816 And the Mormon church has an edict that you should give 10% of your income back to the church....which Romney faithfully follows.
President Obama's charitable donations have certainly gone up since he has started making "serious" money and he should be credited for his generosity. I would not criticize what he has done in the past but...you just keep going on an on like the energizer bunny trying to vilify anybody with success. This article shows that when President Obama was making a "mere" $260,000 per year (wait!...doesn't that put him over the "rich" line???) he donated only $1050.00 to charity, a miserly 0.4%. Sorry...I know an awful lot of people making considerably less than that who donate much, much more to charity. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ust-1-percent/2012/02/14/gIQAXuMDER_blog.html So please, just spare me the comparisons. Obama pays taxes because he HAS to. Romney pays all the taxes that he owes. Much of his income is from capital gains. Obama's comes from royalties from his fabulous books. Yeah, it's easier to give back when you are successful and have a lot...so what? Obama's record just proves just that. This is like a stupid locker room argument...whose is bigger?
:lol: Gipper Jim always does his homework... Tom.. Yesterday was parent back to schoolnight Jim had 3 hoursafter school ... to prepare for this he didnt want to drive an hour home then turn around and go back. its at least a 1 hour drive each way.... so after school he just stayed out there. ........ Dave... thats it thats all you got...Did you bother to listen to any speech's last night /// they were amazing.... So much for the Republican women. Class act
Yes....for the believers.....for the mesmerized blinded faithful it was a "great" speech. For anyone else it lacked trustbuilding.
Speaking of breaking promises; http://hotair.com/archives/2012/08/30/fact-checking-the-factcheckers-on-ryans-speech/ So why is it ok for Obama to close down some ineffecient operations (jobs) in order to keep a company going (even at the expense of a broken promise) but not for Romney?
So Romney gives millions to his church - for shame - in addition to a host of other organizations and you're still pounding him as perhaps not "caring"? WTF? Somebody other than our Gator friend explain the logic behind this to me? I just don't get it....really.
Romney paid 30%, not 13%........Forbes http://www.forbes.com/sites/charleskadlec/2012/08/20/mitt-romney-paid-30-not-13-in-federal-income-taxes/
Mike, Here is just one of the many sources of information on Mitt Romney's incredible record of public service. http://mittromneycentral.com/mitt-romney-biography/ He has 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church...... 28! "Got your calculators handy? Let’s recap. Volunteer campaign worker for his dad’s gubernatorial campaign – 1 year. Unpaid intern in Governor’s office – 8 years. Mormon missionary in Paris – 2 years. Unpaid bishop and stake president for his church – 10 years. No salary as president of the Olympics – 3 years. No salary as MA governor – 4 years. That’s a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church. Why? Because that’s the kind of man Mitt Romney is."
