How Many DEMOCRATS Gave $4 Million Dollars To CHARITY Last Year, Like Romney Did? | |
snark Forum Administrator User ID: 1050548 United States 09/22/2012 10:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He gave $4 million and didn't even take the total amount of deductions he could have. It was about 30% OF his income. Last Edited by snark on 09/22/2012 10:13 AM T For Texas, T For Tennessee! The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |

It was about 30% OF his income. Quoting: snark Democrats are accuusing Romney of (gasp!) paying more than he was legally required to pay! Maybe Warren Buffet should follow Mitt’s example and send some extra cash to the Feds since he is so outraged by his low tax rate. |

If he were such a saint we would have already seen his tax returns for previous years. We are not going to see them, because nearly everything about Romney is a huge kooky fraud. Here is where Romney and his family come from. You decide if you want these folks running the country. [link to www.vice.com] |

PravdaDemocrat (OP) User ID: 19228212 United States 09/22/2012 10:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LOL he gave away 1,5% of his net worth and that would make him a saint? In that case the christians who give away 10% of their monthly income are super saints. By Jesus' standards Romney falls short, not in the last place because he belongs to some cult. Now if Mitt would invest his $250 mln in America to create jobs, rather than keep it on offshore accounts, than i would have respect for him. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1229586 HE DID... Numerous times.... That's why he can sit back today and make millions from his INVESTMENT income. How many jobs did OBAMA create while he was working in the Private sector? ZERO... But, he DID help ACORN create the Mortgage Crisis!! |

I guess it's no fun for them unless they can force you to give a certain amount People annually give more to charity than four times the amount of people on welfare get from government, voluntarily with no coercion or threats. The American system of limited government and free enterprise has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed. We don' t want to lose that. |
