Of all major Democrat candidates only Warren & Booker gave more to charity

...than your average millionaire.

The legit millionaires are Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris gave among the least

Kamala in 2018 gave 1.4% of her income to charity in 2018. While AG for California she literally gave nothing
Bernie Sanders gave 3.4% in 2018, 3% in 2017 but less than 1% in 2014 and several years beforehand

The average charity donation for those making a million or more is 5%, and around 3% for those making less than a million.

Elizabeth Warren had an income just shy of a million donated 5.5% to charity in 2018.

Corey Booker who made much less than a million donated a whopping 16%

Joe Biden hasn't released his tax returns since 2015 but donated a measly 1.8% that year. Interestingly Mike Pence the current vice president also hasn't released his tax returns since 2015 and donated 7.7% in 2015, with the five years prior being between 5.4% and 9.2%.

Beto O'Rourke was the real scrooge. He hasn't released his tax returns for 2018 but donated just 0.3% in 2017 and 0.2% on 2016.

Why would Biden's taxes make me want to hold my dick? :confusedshrug:


The Biden candidacy is in trouble. He's outspending the others but taking in much less. Not a good sign.

Whenever you claim something, the opposite happens every single time :oldlol:

i.e. You say something about how great stock market is doing, and stock market plummets 3 weeks later. Rinse and repeat on other topics, almost anything related to politics and Trump. :cheers:

holy shit beta. :roll:

i wouldnt be surprised if the ***** was robbing charities.

President Trump has agreed to shut down his embattled personal charity and to give away its remaining money amid allegations that he used the foundation for his personal and political benefit, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood announced Tuesday.

Underwood said that the Donald J. Trump Foundation is dissolving as her office pursues its lawsuit against the charity, Trump and his three eldest children.

The suit, filed in June, alleged

so if i'm understanding your logic here- giving to charity and releasing your tax returns is 'a bit more damaging' than your fake charity being shut down by the feds following a 'shocking pattern of illegality and self-dealing' and having to file emergency appeals all the way up to potentially the supreme court to make sure your financials never see the light of day?

truly, maga has ushered in a new era.

what a time indeed.

Good/bad is a function of expectations, dear boy.

Dems run on campaigns of #MeToo and #FairShare, while getting exposed in DROVES the last few years as penny-pinching sexual predators :lol

MAGA never put up those phony fronts in the first place.


Hence, Dem Fam hold the L.

Let me clarify: Nobody actually believed or voted for Trump because they thought he had an ethical and squeaky clean business history.

Dem voters seem to actually believe their candidates are caring, giving, sincere advocates of women, the poor, and POC etc.

All political candidates posture fraudulently. Dembots are the only ones still falling for the okey doke.

Nice try.

Puppet Paul bowed out of Congress because the GOP establishment and its special interest string pullers didn't want him supporting a populist like Donald Trump, but also didn't want him publicly clashing with a Republican president.

Trump gave him the little kid treatment. Smiled, shook his hand, put his arm around him. "Sure, Paul, I know you're working against me, but I find you so unthreatening I won't even bother make a thing of it. You'll cower and quit in a month." *Smiles and shakes hands with Paul for another photo*

Why didnt Bernie share more of his own good fortune to help the working class? :(

[QUOTE=FultzNationRISE;13941582]Why didnt Bernie share more of his own good fortune to help the working class? :([/QUOTE]

When did Bernie become a millionaire again?

First post of this thread is misleading unsurprisingly since it assumes Bernie was a millionaire for the whole period described.

Bernie has devoted his entire career to help the working class so it's idiotic to suggest he hasn't.

I don't see charitable giving as an effective way to help either given how many charities are inefficient and could be characterized as pseudo-scams. Donors are as likely to be hypocrites with ulterior motives as not.

[QUOTE=Stephonit;13941605]When did Bernie become a millionaire again?[/QUOTE]He became a millionaire in 2016 and since then has donated less than the average millionaire.

Why hoard all this wealth and buy a 3rd house?

Beto and Sanders are the 2 most progressive candidates but the cheapest with their own money. Not to mention Sanders milking his salary workers of so many hours, they make much less than the $15/hr he is telling all employers to pay even the lowliest of workers. Then has the gall to be enraged at them for going to the media with their complaints. Bernie is a typical politician. Hypocritical AF. :facepalm

Anyone who thinks different is an idiot.

[QUOTE=Phong;13941609]He became a millionaire in 2016 and since then has donated less than the average millionaire.[/QUOTE]


Not only that but he donated LESS THAN 1% before he became a millionaire.

Dude’s been at least upper middle class for decades and has given as little as possible to others :oldlol:

He just wants to be Dictator because he has a Dictator complex. If he loses the DNC bid again this year do you think he’ll start up some selfless non profit? Doubt it. He’ll probably just retire in disappointment and go spend whatever money he’s got in himself for the rest of his days.

He’s not an altruist. He’s a wannabe dictator singing the tune his puppets wanna hear. He does t give a shit if they get it or not, especially if he doesnt get to be the one delivering it.

Theyre mostly young people tho. Hopefully this will teach some valuable lessons. Some of them are guaranteed to be lifelong losers (millertime, r3.) Others may still have a chance to grow.

The charity you describe is the kind of public-facing charity that strikes me as having a high probability of being fake or phony. If you aren't a millionaire, I'm sure a lot of people can find better uses for their money rather than giving it to someone else.

If it's going to end up reducing insurance premiums and overall health care expenditures leaving a net savings and removing the threat of bankruptcy why not?

By the way since Warren and Booker gave 5+% and 16% percent respectively to charity I guess that means Warren's 8% wealth tax is a good idea or expecting 10% more in donations from the wealthy is the way to go right?
