I love that Romney's 10% tithe is considered "charity"

Only because it's to a church. Of course, the so-called liberal media won't bother to report he's required to donate to the church.

I thought they were supposed to do 15%.
Or maybe that was the Amish.

Actually I was wrong... the tithe is listed seperately and it's more like 5%. Not sure whether it's also counted in the charity column.

Or that the vast majority of that donated money doesn't ever end up being used for what most of us would consider charitable work.

What it doesn't say is that Gingrich's charity is actually his future fourth wife, a "dancer" named Charity.

Probably goes to political ads in his case. Clearly money that helps real people, like Jesus wanted.

Latter-Day Saints requires all of it's members to title the church. As pointed out in here, it is either 10 or 15% of income to be donated.

What, did the soup stock dribble down his chins and stain a moderately expensive necktie?

LDS is not a charity.

/LSD however.....

I suppose you could call alimony as a brand of charity...

10% of Gross income (before taxes and anything else)

hey subby
Why look at the charitable donation when we shoul be looking at the TAX RATE? Obama is carrying a heavier tax burden than Romney, while Rommney make twent times as much!
Obama and Rommney give same % of income to charity. Why doesn't Romney mput in more?

1.5 M buys a lot of magic underwear.

Ok subby, what are you getting at? Obama and Romney both donated 14% of their income to charity. Romney donated a higher absolute amount, but that's still more that Obama made total. Guess I don't see the point. Like Darth_Lukecash said above, the tax rate is far more interesting.

Biden gave $369. (new window) That guy is obviously in poor shape and should be removed from the VP slot because of his financial incompetence.

I have to admit, I'm impressed with the 14% charity for both Obama and Mitt (hey, close enough to 15% for me). Even if Obama's 14% is less than 10% of Mitt's.

Newt, on the other hand, is a pathetic cheapskate and sorry excuse for a man. But I knew that before the taxes came out, so there's that....

No kidding.

It's required for him to stay in good standing with his religion, or be excommunicated/shunned/whatever they call it in the Mormon church.

Forced tithing should not count.

In that case, Mitt's in trouble.

Do the Elders still send lackeys to non-Mormon owned businesses to get the lowdown on their flock's gross income, or has that fallen out of style in the last 50 or so years?

Not my story, but a coworker's related the story that his father's church elders once got told off by the coworker's father's boss when they came poking around his workplace asking what his pay was so they could get a proper tithe out of him.
