Wow, 1.8% to charity! $2000 write off of junk they gave to the goodwill.

Democrat politicians are generally stingy

They like to take money from tax payers and give it as entitlement

It is easy when one gives away someone else hard earned money...

Yes Romney worked extremely hard for his money by raiding companies health care, wages and pensions. Republicans have no problem giving my hard earned money to Oil companies even though they are making record profit.

I just noticed this, I gave more to charity than did Biden and I make less than a seveth of what he makes. This kind of makes me mad.

Why is there a mandate to give to charity? Maybe he and his wife give a lot of time and other things. I don't give a dime to charity and never will. I come originally from a country were the government takes care of those in need and by education we have almost outlawed poverty.

Of course this article is hidden on the Huff Po. Vice President Joe Biden last year earned $20,900 in rental income from the Secret Service, which is paying him to host agents on his property so they can protect him.

Although government officials are allowed to have taxpayers pick up the tab, Biden is unique in that he actually gets paid by his bodyguards for the right to protect him.

Umm less than 2% contribution to charity...interesting charities. We also have to remember he probably doesn't pay much for food...or transportation or phone bill etc.
Lets face it, the guy is cheap..

Umm - let's face it. Joe & Jill Biden's combined income tax statement looks more realistic and far more generous than what can be filtered out of Mitt Romney's previous returns. Of course, there's the question of Mitt's hidden offshore accounts that might never be accounted for.
BTW - nobody computes charity donations from pretax earnings, unless they are trying to make a partisan point.

lol You dizzy yet?

Face it, the Biden's are CHEAP! They are only generous with other people's money! Joe Biden is a massive hypocrite.
