Pssh, that's like a pocket of pennies for Romney.
And based on his tax returns, almost 30% of those pennies were donated to charities.
I applaud him for doing exactly what people with tons of money should do with it.
I'll keep other comments to myself

Then whatever you do, do not Google Joe Biden + Donations. Apparently he disagrees with you, as do most limousine liberals, because charity should start at taxing the rich so government can do what is best with your money. They know better than you, just look at how profitable federal government run operations are. The postal service just posted a 5.2 billion quarterly loss last month. Meanwhile UPS and Fed Ex are growing. Care to guess who the biggest supplier for the USPS during the last 9 years?

Spoiler: show
And what is the reason why they posted a $5.2 billion quarterly loss last month, that is not required of ANY other business or organization run by or affiliated with the federal government?
"Whatever you do"? Really? Yawn. You misunderstood. I applauded him for giving some of the ridiculous amount of can't-possibly-need-this money that he has, to charity. The fact that charity is now a political football is sickening. The fact that is a dick-measuring contest is worse.
Yes, it's pathetic that I give more to charity than Biden does. But I also know there are plenty of ulterior motives whenever anyone who is rich is giving to charity. Except maybe Bill Gates. So I'm not exactly going to just take Romney's donations at face value. On the flip side, it doesn't surprise me in the least when people don't give to charity (e.g. Biden).

Prefunding adds to the problem but does not account for all of the losses.
I agree completely Jeff, especially the political football/dick measuring contest part.
As for me, I give very little monetarily to charity, but I give my time a lot. Work-related wise, I give a lot of time and a lot of money. Our two campaigns at work, Christmas for Kids (toy drive for local kids/families) and Neighbors in Need (food for local food pantries), I regularly spend the drives working 12+ hour days Monday through Friday, and anything involved with the campaigns that I am not sitting in a studio at work for (which is 90% of the campaigns as I much prefer being out in public helping at live drives, we do not put down hours for on our weekly timecards or get paid for. So there are easily well hundreds of hours every year, last Thursday of October through middle of December, standing on streets all over NW Ohio collecting money, new unwrapped toys and non-perishable food for both campaigns.
I've been involved with both campaigns since 2005, originally as a volunteer through one of the organizations I was involved with while at college, and originally was only supposed to volunteer one day, during the kickoff drive of one of the campaigns, but instead personally got involved and help out with and stayed with the rest of the campaigns that year, and went back the following years, and then have been involved with them as an employee of Clear Channel since 2008. From 2005 through 2007, I gave well into the thousands of hours of my own personal time, time I could have spent studying for classes and finals or having fun at college. And since 2008, I have given well into the thousands of hours of my time and well into the thousands, if not tens of thousands, of money that I would have received in my paychecks, but instead voluntarily forfeited by choosing to go out personally to live drives instead of sitting in the studio running the board for the remotes (which I basically have my free choosing of whatever hours I want on board during the campaigns and whatever I choose to not do, those hours get tossed to the remaining board ops to pick and split, god bless seniority and higher ranking in the office).
So I already donate hundreds of hours of my time and thousands of dollars out of what would have been money in my paycheck to the local charities we help (and as opposed to national charities, every single cent collected during the campaigns stays completely in NW Ohio, and every single cent collected goes to the local charities, corporate completely covers any and all overhead costs, so all the money collected goes directly to the charities instead of money taken out of the totals for overhead), so I generally donate very little to other, national, charities, at least donations that I can claim on my taxes.
LMFAO I have some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you if you really believe the part in bold above. I'll give you a good deal since you are such a good friend.
I have never cared nor been concerned with what others choose to do with their money. I am concerned with what others choose to do with my money.

On the Biden v. Romney topic. Romney gave 1000X as much to charity in ONE YEAR as the Veep gave in the LAST DECADE.

He was the only one that I could think of that was even a maybe.
I'm quite confident that anything said on Stern is not "the reason".

Funny how no one mentions that ALL of Romney's charity givings go to his "church" for his "religion" and nevermind that his "religion" believes in magic underwear and that the profit was some blond haired country bumpkin in the 1700s.
Should we really start discussing the teachings of the candidates "churches"? See "Reverend" WrightFunny how no one mentions that ALL of Romney's charity givings go to his "church" for his "religion" and nevermind that his "religion" believes in magic underwear and that the profit was some blond haired country bumpkin in the 1700s.
Just a walking, talking, living, breathing mouthpiece for the left I see. Did you copy that from Chris Matthews blog? Now let's look closely at the "all" remark.Funny how no one mentions that ALL of Romney's charity givings go to his "church" for his "religion" and nevermind that his "religion" believes in magic underwear and that the profit was some blond haired country bumpkin in the 1700s.
Watch as I use a source.
