MITT ROMNEY SILVER FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE
He deffered (carried forward) 1.7 mill of charity (church) cash to next year so he wouldn't go below 13%
I do not consider donating to a church as charity to anyone except the donater.
And of course donating to a charity is not the same as paying the equivalent tax if you had earned it through employment.
And lest we forget, the more one donates to Salt Lake, the higher one moves up the chain.
According to a summary of their 2011 return released by the Romney campaign, the Romneys paid $1,935,708 in federal income taxes last year on $13,696,951 in income, almost all of it from his investments. That comes out to a 14.1% tax rate, far below the top rate of 35% for earned income. But here's the thing: Had Romney taken full advantage of all the deductions available to him, the rate would have been much lower, perhaps as low as 9%. He donated $4,020,772 to charity (good for him!), but only claimed a deduction on $2.25 million of that.
Why? His campaign told BuzzFeed:

What a very bad man Romney is.
Romney Gave 1,000 Times as Much to Charity in a Year as Biden Gave in a Decade | The Weekly Standard
It's how you use yer $ that says a lot.Wealth or lack thereof is NOT a measure of the quality of a man.

I thought it was important to be charitable and to give when you're able. You don't think so?

So in other words, the premise of the article is retarded.
Which proves Biden is an asshole.To be sure, Biden could have given more money of his income to charity. It says Romney gave 30% while Biden gave 0.2%. A few thousand dollars in 10 years for someone making about $300K a year isn't much. I gave more money to charity in that time and I make far less.
According to that article, Joe Biden made less money in 10 years than Romney gave away last year. It would be impossible for Biden to have given away more or as much money in 10 years as Romney did in one year. And keep in mind, even if Biden did make as much money as Romney gave away, to match him he would be giving away 100% of his income for 10 years.
So in other words, the premise of the article is retarded. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a sociological experiment to see just how gullible party hacks are. Let's see, combine anti-Democrat bias with statistics that don't jive and see who believes they do. If you believe the facts say something about Biden that they obviously don't, merely because you don't like Democrats, you've got a critical thinking problem.
