Romney 7 million to Charity..

Mormons fled from the U.S. to Mexico to avoid persecution for polygamy.

When the U.S. won the war with Mexico, Salt Lake became part of U.S. territory.
 
Romney gave so much less by percentage of his UNEARNED income, there is no comparison; Romney gives primarily to his church, that "7 million" is maybe a month so of INTEREST off his 1/4 BILLION in wealth. NO SCARIFICE, ever.

The church doesn't count, why is that..?

Why do you keep referring to it as charity and not the Mormon church?

Obamas father was a polygamist .. He was married to a Kenyan women when he married Obama mama . Left her when Obama was a baby did not divorce , married another American women and took her to Kenya where he has another child with his first wife who he later or finally divorced.. and he then divorced Obama mama .. So Obama mama could marry Sortoro I Guess.. Most this is in his book. Read it man

I already knew that.

It has nothing to do with Mormons fleeing the U.S. to escape our laws.

Then the US made them become more Americanized by giving up the polygamy and theocracy before we would let them become a state.

The US also continued to chop up their territory everytime a gold strike was found so they couldn't accumulate too much money. Him giving so much to his church is not very American.

How so, Sarah G... ?
 
Gads, that will affect your tax rate, I'm thinkin.

Obama, over the years is a proven a cheap, penny pinching bastard and of course a liberal.

The Romney tax returns offer a window into an area of public life that matters a great deal but is rarely discussed: charitable contributions.

It confirms long-term pattern for both Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, in which the Romneys have generally paid a lower tax rate than the Obamas, but given more to charity. In recent years only, the relative contributions to charity from the two couples have moved closer together.

In 2011, the Romneys donated about 29% of their income to charity – $4 million out of their total $13.7 million in income. For 2010, they donated about 13.8% of their income, $2.98 million out of $21.6 million. Over a 20-year period, the Romneys gave to charity an average of 13.45% of their adjusted gross income, according to an accountants’ letter they provided on Friday.

The information released by the Romney camp Friday also made a point of noting that in combination the Romneys have paid close to 40% on average of their adjusted gross income to various taxes and charities. By any measure, that’s a big number.

Mr. Obama and wife Michelle gave $172,130, or roughly 21.8% of their income, to charity in 2011, and about 14.2% in 2010. That was up from 5.9% in 2009. The Obamas gave between 4.7% and 6.5% of their income to charity between 2005 and 2008. The Obamas’ income shrank in 2011, to about $790,000, compared to earlier years, helping to boost their percentage.

The Republican candidate’s giving reflects a tendency his party would like to see replicated more widely. Republicans favor a world in which people pay fewer taxes and give more to charity, believing that private spending is more effective than that of the federal government.

Politics aside, Romney's multi-million dollar contributions to charity are ignored while Obama's claim to fame is his use of someone else's money.
I'm sure you consider Tom Cruise's payments to the "Church" of Scientology contributions to charity, too?

How about the people who gave money to Sun Myung Moon?

How about those who gave their money to Jim Jones?

All "charity"?
 
Stale story, Romney DIDN'T write it all off because his tax rate would have been even lower. First time KNOWN for him, could be why he won't release more returns, he writes off all he can UNLESS he is running for office and wants to look like a bit more like a genuine American tax payer. Othewise, he would be a tax exile in the Caymen islands. Speaking of PATRIOTISM, DODGING taxes shows no love for the USA.

Romney follows the law, just like Obama, Soros and Buffett's secretary. (Buffett doesn't, he's settling his tax fraud case).

That's not dodging taxes.

What do you base this definitive statement upon?

Why doesn't he give to legit charities? He is running for president of the United States, not President of the Mormon church.

What makes you so sure?

As far as I know the Mormon Church has Tax Exempt Status approved by the government and accepts charity donations.

btw...Your lack of tolerance is a personal choice.

So I guess when the President says that the wealthiest Americans can afford to pay a little more in taxes,

to help deal with our fiscal situation,

the Romney example proves that President Obama is absolutely correct.
 
Early on in Obama's presidency, he cut the amount of charity contributions that could be written off for taxes too. He wants us to grateful we're at the government's teet.

You seem to be missing the concept of individual charity...:dunno:

Now, if you're trying to say Obama/Democrats/Liberals have turned America into a charity case, I get your drift.

It didn't pass.

It's funny that if Obama wants to do it it's a bad idea, but if Romney wants to do it suddenly it's a brilliant idea.

How much people give to charity, and whether or not it makes them cheapstakes, is the subject of your thread.

So again, what percent of your income do you give to charity?

You seem to have missed the concept of a balanced budget. The Republicans cut taxes in the face of two wars to pay for in the last decade. A good portion of the money that Romney has been giving to his church and his foundation could have gone towards paying for those wars.

A country ought to pay for the wars it fights before it takes on a mountain of debt all for the sake of letting people enjoy the money they owe for those wars.
