Skinflint Biden Gave an Average of $369 to Charity Since 1998

When it comes to charitable giving, liberals are very generous. With your money. How pathetic is it that Joe Biden gave a grand total of $3,690 since 1998, while it's now revealed Sarah Palin and her husband Todd gave more than twice that the last two years combined.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made considerably less money than rival Sen. Joe Biden, but the Palin family gave more to charity in the last two years than Biden has in the last eight combined, according to Palin's tax records released Friday afternoon.

Palin, the running mate of presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and her husband Todd reported meager earnings from 2006 and 2007, at least by presidential-politics standards.

In 2006, the Palins paid $11,944 in taxes on $127,869 in income. In 2007, they paid $24,738 on $166,080.

But in 2006, they donated $4,880 to charity, and in 2007, they donated $3,325.

By contrast, Biden (D-Del.), Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's running mate, has donated a total of $3,690 since 1998 despite his higher Senate salary, according to an analysis posted by National Review.
You can guarantee he spent more than that just to have his face rearranged.

Biden had the audacity to claim not wanting to pay more in taxes was unpatriotic. Well, for a Catholic, his stinginess is downright sinful.

For shame, Greasy Joe. For shame.
