Fox News "Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle gave $10,772 of the $1.2 million they earned from 2000 through 2004 to charities, or less than 1 percent, according to tax returns for those years released today by his campaign."

Jennifer Rubin: Romney paid 42 percent of 2011 income in taxes and charity "The media is obsessed with Romney’s wealth, taking the amount earned as a sign of some moral failing in the U.S. economic system. But in fact what we see is that the income tax code is already very progressive (the rich pay a higher percentage than less-rich taxpayers). And in Romney’s case, the amount of his income given (or taken) away suggests that at least this particular wealthy American does more than his fair share for society."
UK Mail: Mitt Romney gave millions to charity. Joe Biden gave $369. But that's OK because Joe cares and Mitt doesn't.
