Palin's Giving

I posted the Tim Steven's blog below about Biden, Obama and McCain's annual giving. Palin's tax returns were released this week and the Palins' gave 3.3% of their income in 2006 and 1.5% in 2007 (an average of 2.4% for the two years). The average American family gives about 2% of their income to charitable organizations, the average Christian gives around 2.5% (Wow, we Christians are so generous!). Honestly, given Palin's overt Christianity, I am very surprised it was that low. I expect more out of our leaders.

Lame lame lame lame. Lame. Certainly far less lame than Biden though. Frick.

It's pretty sad that Palin's giving makes Obama's look good. On the one hand, McCain is the only one giving from the position of multi-millionaire, so that scores less points with me. On the other hand, Biden's "excuse" was a complete, utter, pathetic cop out.
