Presidential Charity
Posted: Tue Sep 16, 2008 9:45 am
Dan raised an interesting point on another thread: How important is it to you that a canidate for president donates to charity? And should they donate, how much would you expect them to donate?
So for fun (I don't want this to turn into a flame war) take the poll. I think the resuls will be interesting.
Of note: most major religions ask that their paritioners Tithe to the church (if they can). The Tithe is usually 10% of thier income, though I think there are some places in India where the Tithe is nearly 50%. On the same page as the link that Dan posted was a story about 23 people being crushed as a rich family handed out thier Tithe to the poor.
On to the poll (I have enabled re-voting, so you can change your mind):
