7000 a year in charitable donations, almost a third of it from thrift store hand-me-downs, seems light for the VP of the USA.

He gets close to 400k for being vp and his wife probably makes more and he claims to be a good Catholic who believes in abortion so 10% should be given to charity.

There's a difference between donating cash to charities and donating goods. I think $2000 in goods is a lot, personally. I doubt we could scrounge up that much stuff we don't want and need here.
Besides, I think politicians in general are stingy (unless its with OPM). But I'm also thinking that pinpointing one politician and inferring that they are stingy is a bit pathetic. I have no doubt there are Reps who are just as stingy.

Where does it say that Catholics are supposed to give 10% to charity?

What percentage of your income do you give to charity, Walter?

Catholics are 'supposed' to tithe 10% of their earnings to the church, a charitable donation by all standards. And here in Canada at least, that helps fund social services and all manner of charity work.

I'm Catholic, I do not tithe that much.

According to Catholic Answers:

Although the Church teaches that offering some form of material support to the Church is obligatory for all Catholic adults who are able to do so, it doesn't specify what percent of one's income should be given. Remember, tithing was an Old Testament obligation that was incumbent on the Jews under the Law of Moses. Christians are dispensed from the obligation of tithing ten percent of their incomes, but not from the obligation to help the Church.

Somebody's been lying to you, karrie.

OK. I'm not Catholic, I have no stake at all. I was just challenging Walter's assertion, or rather pointing out that Walterworld doesn't match the real world point for point.

I am a catholic if the baptism of religion is true but that does not mean I give ten percent
to the church or to a specific charity. In addition Biden is a man who cares deeply about
people and always has he came from a working family and knows well the trial and
tribulations average people go through.
I think because someone gives some stuff to goodwill they should be neither vilified or
praised and who knows how much he gives to causes in total. Anyway its none of our
business. As for his wife what the h*ll does that have to do with it? We say people should
be doing this or that, but it does not how much one makes it is not incumbent on anyone
to give anything to charity. People should neither have to give nor be prevented from
giving. It is an individual matter.

Northern Ontario,
A lot of us give stuff away that we don't use anymore to "Pass it On" or "good will" or Church Raffle.....or something....It could be a Kitchen Range or Fridge that is still working. Do you declare that on your income tax
In a few weeks my wife wants to buy a new washer and dryer (she has a yen for the front loader models with the dryer on top)
The ones we have are still working...
I will of course send the ones we have to Pass it On........will I declare it on my income tax???? Naaah

Knowing that his tax forms are public....Only Biden would think that his donations are a big deal and he probably inflated the value.....

I've never been offered a tax form or value on the stuff I've given away, I don't know if it works the same in Canada.

And did Biden think it was a big deal? Or was it just habit to grab the receipt. I get tax receipts for all sorts of stuff that I really don't think are 'big deals'. But the organizations generate a receipt, and I do my taxes, and still it all goes on there.
