Rick Santorum Explains His Low Rate of Charitable Giving
Presidential candidate Rick Santorum was confronted about his low rate of charitable giving, less than two percent in 2010, on "Fox News Sunday." He said that he should do better, but he has been giving less in order to care for Bella, his daughter who suffers from Trisomy 18.
In 2010, President Obama gave 14.2 percent and presidential candidate Mitt Romney gave 13.8 percent of their income to charity. Santorum gave only 1.76 percent, or $16,289, of his $923,411 income to charity. Newt Gingrich gave 2.6 percent of his $3.1 million income to charity and Ron Paul has refused to release his tax returns.

See? Turns out that giving to Charity for the super rich is an "after thought".
If Romney wasn't required by his church to give so much, would he? He still gives LESS than Obama. They all do.
And as soon as the family has a problem, they stop giving to charity assuming they gave more in the past. There is no proof Santorum ever gave more. Even Catholic charities gets nearly 70% of it's funding from the government. My taxes go to a mystical organization. I don't like that.
And when someone like Paul says "let the church take care of them" and then won't tell how much he gives? It can't be much, if any.
So what are Republican's plan for health care? They better start practicing. It's a fair question and it will be coming up during the election.
I wonder if Santorum get "Obamacare". After all, his child is covered by the President's plan.
