Tax returns should be accurate. No one in the Biden camp has denied
the numbers. Before Kerry was running for potus his "largess" was
well known; it amounted to less than 1/2 of 1% of his total income of
$300K/year. When he ran for potus, he managed to correct that figure
to somewhere up the scale where it should have been all along.
Coincidental? Or planned so that he would look a little bit more
human. We are talking about the ruling class, Kevin, not about you
and me and the rest of the country. Ruling Class. The Bidens,
Kennedys, Kerrys, et al. "Let them eat cake."

I ain't no tax lawyer, but I'm pretty sure you're not REQUIRED to
declare your charitable donations on your tax returns. If you don't
want the deduction, you are free to leave that line blank.

What you have to ask yourself, Kevin, is: Would I have this same
argument and defend it if the person was Palin or mcCain. I doubt
that very much. You are making excuses. Biden consistently gave
around $300/year, year after year, until last year when he gave a more
acceptable (but still cheap) $1000. The same thing happened when
Kerry ran for potus; he upped his giving. They are the Ruling Class.
The Ruling Class does not need to give of their monies; they just vote
more taxes.

You are not "having an argument" LaCourse, you are merely continuing
to spout rubbish about a man who may just be careful with his money,
or may not even declare charitable works/donations on his tax
returns. Many don´t, because the reason they donate in the first place
is not to set off their taxes, but to help people.

Also, and another thing you seem quite unable to grasp, giving money
( or indeed "****bags"!), does not really help anybody much, or for
very long. Although it may help tide them over temporarily in an
emergency. The only way to help such people in any sensible way is to
ensure that they have the opportunity to get education, jobs, and
social security, and thus to help themselves.

Having to depend on dubious charity from people like you is demeaning
in the extreme.

The more one reads here about your ideas and attitudes to politics and
other things, the more it becomes clear that you and others like you
are a major part of the problem. Small minded bull**** is apparently
more important to you than seeing your country run properly.

YOU are the "ruling class" LaCourse, and that is why things have gone
to hell. You are an ignorant, arrogant,self-centred ****bag.

It seems you "donate" in order to brag about it. That is not donating
LaCourse, it is obviously in your case the sad attempt to "buy
approval" from those you consider your peers, or once again to
browbeat and belittle others with your "generosity".

Lastly, giving somebody money or food, although it may or may not be
generous per se, and sometimes necessary to help them out, when you
are in a position to do so, doing it all the time merely makes them
dependent on you, and does not solve their problems.
