Hey, Obama: Put your money where your mouth is

Obama wants "rich" people to pay more taxes, even though most Americans are so clueless as to how much in taxes "rich" people pay that when asked, they think they should pay 25.7% - far less than they pay now!

Obama calls it "neighborliness" to take money from people who have earned it and give it to people who haven't, yet can't find it in himself to even muster to give more than 1% of his personal earnings to charity until he's making $4 million a year.

This post is making me livid. I wasn't even sure of my McCain vote until I read this. I'm sick to my stomach. What a low down, hypocritical, socialist lying -------.

Charitable giving? Here are the facts:

The Bushes, 2007
AGI: $923,807
Tax: $221,635
Charity: $165,660
18% of gross income

The Cheneys, 2007
AGI: $3,040,000
Tax: $602,651
Charity: $166,547
5.5% of gross income

The Obamas, 2000-2004
AGI: Between $200,000 - $300,000
Charity: 1% of gross income

The Obamas, 2007
AGI: $4,200,000
Charity: 5% of gross income

The Bidens, 2007
AGI: $319,854
Charity: $995
0.3% of gross income

The Bidens, past 10 years
AGI (total): $2,450,042
Charity: $3,690
0.1% of gross income

Fascists.
