Where would we be without the Democrats' compassion?

The Democrats pat themselves on the back for being the party of compassion -- the party that cares about the little man. They're compassionate, all right -- as long as it's not their money.

Joe Biden and his wife reported $333,182 in adjusted gross income for last year. They gave $4,820 to charity. That's 1.4%. Obama reported income of $5.5 million. He gave a little less than 6% to charity. Mr. Essie May and I made much, much less than that, but we gave roughly 15% of our gross income to charity (and a whole lot more dollar-wise than Biden did). Too bad we can't all be as compassionate as those Democrats!
