Joe Biden Keeps HIS Money

This should be an eye-opener, especially for liberals. How much did you give to charity in the last decade? The Volokh Conspiracy reports the following:

Between 1998 and 2006, Joe Biden contributed between $120 and $380 a year to charity, according to his tax returns, on AGIs [adjusted gross incomes] of $210,000 and $321,100. Imagine if he hadn't been thinking of running for president.

If this is true, it speaks directly to the mythology surrounding liberals as sympathetic to the interests of people in need. Indeed, many liberals I know are very generous people. The difference is that my acquaintances earn far less than Biden.

Thanks to Glenn Reynolds and Instapundit for the story.
