Joe Biden is a Cheap SOB

From Hot Air:

Yesterday, Barack Obama and Joe Biden released their tax returns for 2008. While Barack Obama donated a respectable 6.5% of his adjusted gross income to charity, totaling over $170,000, Joe Biden continued his parsimonious tradition. Biden donated a mere $1885 to charity on an AGI of almost $270,000, or about 0.69%.

Biden has a long track record of miserliness. When Obama picked him as a running mate, Biden eventually released his tax returns from the previous decade – and showed less than $3700 in charitable donations for the entire period. Sarah Palin, by contrast, had donated that much in 2007, and more in 2006, on higher income. Biden actually improved in 2008 by donating almost exactly half of what he had for the previous decade put together.

 It seems the VP would rather give his money to Uncle Sam than charity. Afterall, it’s his patriotic duty.
