Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Democrats are the party of the people, right? They care about the less fortunate among us, right? WRONG! Not only have the Obama's donated considerably less than the Clintons, but Biden, a 35 year member of the Senate, a bleeding heart liberal, donated less in the last 10 years than the Palins donated in one year.

from The Hill Palin gives more to charity than Biden

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.

The timing of the release of the Palins tax records has become something of a tradition. Campaigns wait until Friday afternoon, when the news cycle slows to a grind and reporters are focused elsewhere — in this case, Congress's passage and the president's signing of the financial rescue package.

Just another instance where Democrats say one thing and do another. Take a look at Obama's income and charity donations here.
