The Palins Give Far More to Charity Than the Bidens

Do you remember Larry Johnson’s April 2008 story, “Follow the Money“? The story in which Larry broke the news about the uncharitable Obamas, who give less than one percent (1%) of their income to charity compared to Hillary and Bill Clinton’s ten percent (10%).
Now we find out that Joe Biden and wife are as stingy, as miserly, as his running mate and wife. The story comes from The Hill‘s story, “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.
And I thought Democrats and liberals were the ones in favor of giving to the needy.
As Larry wrote in his April story:
Now that we have the tax returns of Hillary Clinton and and Barack Obama in hand there is no doubt who cares more for ministering to the needs of the poor and sick in this world.
[...]
Bill and Hillary gave almost 10% of their income to charity. Barack “the Community Organizer for the Poor” and his wife donated less than 1%. This is another stark difference between the character and substance of Barack and Hillary. Hillary talks and does. Barack just talks and barely does.
“Barack just talks and barely does.”
Right on, Larry. How I wish more voters understood this FUNDAMENTAL character flaw in Obama. That he talks the talk just enough to attain the next highest position of power he can find, but doesn’t mean much, if any, of what he says on the campaign trail.
Both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin — it’s obvious — sincerely and deeply care about the programs they are fighting for.
