Palin vs Biden

Time for another comparison...

Palin family donations 2006 & 2007:

In 2006, Sarah and Todd Palin donated $4,250 to charity in cash/check donations and $630 in non-cash/check donations, for a total of $4,880. This is 3.3% of their adjusted gross income.

In 2007, Sarah and Todd Palin donated $2,500 to charity in cash/check donations and $825 in non-cash/check donations, for a total of $3,325. This is 1.5% of their adjusted gross income

Biden Family:

Senator Biden's 2006 earnings were $248,459, he donated $380 for a .15% donation rate. In 2007 he made $319,853 and upped his giving to a whopping $995. Good for .31%.

Better still.

Since 1998, Joe Biden made $2.4 Million and gave $3690.... overall a .15% rate.

The Palins topped him in one year.... in 2006.... and I'd be willing to be she gave him a run for the money in her unreported years too.

OK, so here's another question:

"Senator Biden, you've said that paying more taxes is patriotic. Which is more patriotic: paying taxes or making charitable donations?
