Many americans with children pay far less percentage in taxes and yet get more than 5 or more times that amount back in a refund. They get a bonus check back every year. That's a problem to me.So she gave 2% of her income to charity, and paid 10%-ish in taxes?
Greaaaaaat....
The problem with what people make and what people spend is so far from being balanced that is partly how we got into the financial mess we are in now here in this country. Don't buy what you can't afford!

Bear in mind that Biden is catholic. Maybe he didn't want his charitable contributions going to help court settlements for priest-on-boy rape cases. Lots of catholics are giving less due to the 2 billion the catholic church has spent in the last 50 years on these settlements.
btw, I believe most of us give more than Palin - I know I do. The amount of giving she does, relative to her income, is nothing to be boasting about.

I'd rather have someone working to give millions of people a better life then someone who gave a couple thousand more to charities and took my tax money to fund her pet projects in a state with a surplus due to oil.
Like many americans? How many American families make 300,000$ per year? 5%? 2%?

In 2006, the Palins paid $11,944 in taxes on $127,869 in income. In 2007, they paid $24,738 on $166,080.
But in 2006, they donated $4,880 to charity, and in 2007, they donated $3,325.
Two things I infer from this - in 06 she paid less than 10% taxes. Amazing first of all. In 07 her taxes were more realistic, but her giving went down.
The Palins give 2% of her income to charity and you started a thread to brag about how much better than makes her?
That's what I want to know, whose idea of like many Americans is that?
Well, if Barry gets elected you'll be in luck. He'll steal every penny he can from the those that earned it and give it to those that didn't. In Socialist-speak that's fair according to Biden.
Over two years? In Alaska? You folks have no earthly idea what the cost of living is in AK, do you? Nor are you familiar with what average pay is.

What does that even mean? If you get 5 times more than you paid, you're not paying taxes at all.Many Americans with children pay far less percentage in taxes and yet get more than 5 or more times that amount back in a refund. They get a bonus check back every year. That's a problem to me.
yeah. Poor americans with children. Not governors with husbands who are up to their necks in oil money.
Just as she has held herself out to be, the Palin's are a hardworking 2 income earning family like many Americans. For 2006 and 2007 the Palin's grossed about $300,000 total. In '07 she got a pay increase for becoming Gov. of AK, so their income went from $130,000 to $170,000 per year. In those two years they gave over $8,000 in charity. This is where it get interestng. Biden by contrast, made over $568,000 for the same 2 years but gave a paltry $1,375 to charity. And unless I'm mistaken, Biden has no minor children.
This is just one more confirmation of recent studies that conservatives way out-give in everything including volunteering compared to liberals. It would appear that liberals think of government as the ultimate charity. Afterall, Biden said that paying taxes is "patriotic"!
It's supposed to symbolize the transparency they aren't afraid of - before they start hiding behind "executive privilege" whenever questioned as Bush has done1 Question.
Why do we even get to look over there Tax returns ?

Really?I have 4 kids and give at least 5 times more money than her.
