You are aware that middle class do give to charity also? We don't know how much Romney gave to charity because he hides his tax returns.
No, you don't know how much he gives to charity because you refuse to look at publicly available information, or you are choosing to be intentionally dishonest. Now shall we talk about the pittance that people like Joe Biden give to charity?
In just the past two years, Romney has given the church $1.525 million and $2.6 million, respectively, according to his tax returns. Romney has also publicly stated on multiple occasions that the entirety of his inheritance from his father, who died in 1995, was donated to the BYU Marriott School of Management’s Institute of Public Management, which now bears his father George W. Romney’s name.
Quote:
Romney and his wife Ann also maintain a separate foundation, established in 1999, the same year that Romney left Bain Capital to serve as CEO of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics Organizing Committee. The couple have contributed approximately$13.6 million, including an initial gift of more than $3.6 million, to their Tyler Charitable Foundation, based in Boston, MA, in the past 13 years.
And they give back a heck of alot for the betterment of society through charity and foundations....... why are you deflecting and not acknowleging the truth? Are some of the rich less than steller people and stole or inherited? Yes, absolutely..... but you and other Dems seem to have this hatred for all or them and lump them all together despite evidence of extraordinary philanthropy
It is because you have been told to hate the rich regardless of what good they have done
How do you know what people give to charity? You only know of a few that are in the news but you don't know what wealthy people do with their money.

WHY does the right consider handing out food stamps any different than handing out more unquestioned $$$ to the MIC?
What are you going to do with all your time and Obama hate after Obama wins the election in November?
A hobby? Therapy?
If the American people are stupid enough to re-elect Obama, I'll do as I already said... I'll watch him wear the albatross he's created for another 4 years. After that, no one will vote for a Dem for at least a generation.
And I don't hate Obama. I just strongly believe he's the wrong person for the job.
If Social Security is insurance, Congress is stealing from every American who pays federal income tax on their Social Security benefits.
It is a longstanding principle in this country that insurance proceeds (payouts) are tax-exempt when the premiums are paid with post-income-tax dollars.
So if Social Security is insurance, why are millions of Americans paying FIT on their Social Security benefits?
because CONGRESS made ss (and UE) an income
they (the irs) CONSIDER it an income..you get it, it COMES INTO YOU HOME,,,oits an income
yet welfare is not considered an income...go figure

He will blame bush for the next 4 years I'd reelected he will never look to his own policies
Why? He linked them with almost half the country and you don't like that part. Doesn't it make Romney look bad? Of course it does.
No, he did not link them, he was talking about all the dead beats, again, blacks, hispanics, white trash...he did not mean vets or retired people living on social security, period. DEADBEATS!
and by the way, if all the troops came home there would be no jobs for them to do, b/c Obama has created so many jobs....yeah right!
