Hypocrites

I see the Obamas and Bidens filed their taxes today. I have a few thoughts about that.

First, how the heck did the Obama's make $5.6 million???? Supposedly, the bulk came from his books sales. I find it hard to believe that many people bought his books. Second, I wonder who really wrote it, who the ghost writer was? He certainly couldn't have written it, I don't think. I don't think he is capable of it. Third, why, making so much money, did the Obamas give only 6% to charities? (Of course, he split the Nobel award to several charities, but I don't count that. He never deserved that in the first place, never.)

The Bidens were worse, of $336,000, they gave only 1.2% to charities.

I listened to how much each made (their AGI, not really their gross or actual income), then to how much each contributed. I used my calculator to figure out the percentages!

How typical? Dems love to spend money on other people, just not spend their money. How hypocritical they are! Who, in the media, the mainstream media, would be bold enough to suggest the above? I know a guy who calls the Reps (I'm certainly no shill for them!) "the party of greed." And who among us hasn't called Big Oil, Big Banking, etc. "greedy?" But how greedy is giving so little to charities when making so very much??? And people just sit on their thumbs and spin while all this goes on, buying the claptrap that the Reps and Big Business have a monopoly on greed.

I listened to a guy on a Flint station, I think, who feared that we can't work our way out of this mess. He thinks far too many people can't wait for the fat gov't checks to arrive, that they don't care that 50% of the people don't pay federal income taxes or that 60% of the people get more in federal handouts than they pay, to want to change things. "Give me my Obama money!!!!" I fear the guy is right. Woe, then, to our children and grandchildren.
