September 18, 200818 yr Wade said in a statement to NRO. “Like most regular churchgoers, they contribute to their church, and they also contribute to their favorite causes with their time as well as their checkbooks, whether it’s [Jill] Biden’s volunteer work with military families or the Biden breast-health initiative, or the way in which the family pitched in driving supplies to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, or the ways Sen. Biden has supported charities that help women, police, and veterans.” I guess then my time helping out my neighbors cutting down trees, fixing downspouts, nailing on shingles, and in general helping out those that can't help themselves because of wind damage, I can claim as a tax deduction in his new tax plan? I missed the part in your link about where he said these would be tax deductions. :confused: Why does everything done have to be for financial gain?
September 19, 200818 yr I missed the part in your link about where he said these would be tax deductions. :confused: Why does everything done have to be for financial gain? Not making a point, just making a comment, and he didn't say anything about giving a tax deductions, but a man in his positions, earning the money he does, should be ashamed about how little he gives to help others!
September 19, 200818 yr Not making a point, just making a comment, and he didn't say anything about giving a tax deductions, but a man in his positions, earning the money he does, should be ashamed about how little he gives to help others! Your own article cites how much he and his family PHYSICALLY do to help charities. This doesn't count? Money is more important than deeds?
September 19, 200818 yr If the rich people are upset that they don't pay enough taxes and their taxes should be raised, can't they just pay more taxes and refuse deductions and refunds? I wonder if any of the Hollyweird folk or even Biden or Obama pay EXTRA taxes PRESENTLY? Or do they pay JUST what the government says they should pay.
September 19, 200818 yr Your own article cites how much he and his family PHYSICALLY do to help charities. This doesn't count? Money is more important than deeds? Do you really think that all that PHYSICALLY work they do to help Charities, might have something do to the nature of his job? Do you agree or disagree, that the amount of money given to charities, considering the amount of money they earn, is shameful or not?
September 19, 200818 yr I am quite the Patriot, then. I am a Knox County Patriot, VERY much a Kentucky Patriot and a US Patriot if new/higher taxes is what defines this. George Washington has nothing on the average Kentucky taxpayer!:lol:

Do you agree or disagree, that the amount of money given to charities, considering the amount of money they earn, is shameful or not? Did you read the article you linked? I am not making a judgement on whether someone's charity done physically is less important then that done monetarily.

September 19, 200818 yr My husband heard today the Biden gave $350? or so to charity. This is a joke, uh. Let the big guys , that do nothing, pay more taxes. If we don't give big businesses tax breaks they either close shop or relocate to another country.
September 19, 200818 yr :thumb: I can't speak for Joe Biden, but sometimes when you're broke writing grants and lending a hand is about all you can do. If you are broke and your AGI is between 210K and 320K per year for the last ten years, I sure do not want you to be vice president... Although he would fit right in, spend more than you make and blame others for why you have no money (sounds like a democrat to me...).

Biden could always become a full time executive recruiter He managed to land a $1.2 million/year job for his son, Hunter, despite Hunter's lack of experience. Now, he is trying to do the same for a very green Barack Obama.
September 19, 200818 yr Could you provide a link connecting socialism to good economics? Uh yeah, see China's economy.
September 19, 200818 yr Uh yeah, see China's economy. China is a good example of a command economy moving towards a capitalist economy. And yet they still have a lot of kinks to work out and hurdles to overcome.
September 19, 200818 yr Uh yeah, see China's economy.China's GDP is currently an estimated 23% the size of ours. What's your point?
September 19, 200818 yr bull. If you want to have money, you will not quit working because your taxes go up. You will either make more money and not worry about it, or you will find ways to hide. I would venture to say that it is also a moral duty. So I can assume that you pay taxes at the highest level and that you claim no deductions that you are allowed?
