According to the AP reports just coming over the wire, George W. Bush's income in 2005 was just over $735,000.00. His contributions to Churches and to other Charities was a little over $75,000.00 which is a decrease of over $2500.00 from the previous year.
I always thought that 10% of ones income was to go to the Lord. With this being the case that would mean Bush gave less than 1% of his income to Charitible causes. What gives here! Bush should have contributed 10% of his income to Katrina alone since he and 'Hell Of A Job, Brownie was largely to blame for the aftermath. Sorry folks I just don't get it.
I make less than $50,000 per year and between the church and other causes my contributions totaled over $7,000.00 last year. If I can contribute nearly 15% of my income to noble causes such as the church and charity then I would expect that our President would be in a position to do even more.
