    Default That MSM Double Standard And VP's

    The Associated Press reported today that Sarah and Todd Palin have released their 2006 and 2007 tax returns. The release concluded:

    Palin tax returns for 2006 and 2007 released

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican John McCain's campaign says Sarah and Todd Palin had a gross income of nearly $170,000 last year and paid nearly $25,000 in taxes.

    The campaign also says the couple made nearly $130,000 and paid about $12,000 in taxes in 2006.

    McCain's campaign released the joint income tax return Friday for his vice presidential nominee and her husband.

    The couple donated more than $8,000 to charity over two years.

    Their income jump from 2006 to 2007 resulted from the salary increase when Sarah Palin became Alaska's governor.

    The McCain-Palin campaign had said the tax returns would be released Monday, but it suddenly put them out Friday afternoon — a time long used by government to reveal embarrassing news because few people watch TV or read newspapers Friday evening and Saturday.

    Biden releases 10 years of personal tax records

    By PHILIP ELLIOTT – Sep 12, 2008

    COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden and his wife on Friday released a decade of their personal financial records, showing a veteran U.S. senator who earned less than many of his congressional colleagues.

    Joe and Jill Biden earned $319,853 in 2007. Joe Biden reported $161,708 in income from the U.S. Senate and another $71,000 in royalties for his book, "Promises to Keep."


    No mention of the following in Bidens news release

    a time long used by government to reveal embarrassing news because few people watch TV or read newspapers Friday evening and Saturday.

    Also whats missing is Joe's charitable contribution's during those 10 years. I guess its because during those 10 years, he only had $3,690 in charitable contributions, talk about a cheap fuck

    You realize they make charitable contributions as tax write-offs, don't you? Joe makes the least of any Senator. I'm sure the Palin family makes more, and has more money to protect through tax incentives that make them spend on charity.

    Hmm neither of those people are Vice Presidents....
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    ... as for the double standard, you're comparing apples and guavas. In one instance, you have Palin saying they'll give them out on Monday, then suddenly do a Friday-night sneak release of the info as the AP correctly points out is a tactic often used by the government to minimize damage from information.

    Biden didn't say one thing then do another. Also, he released a decade of tax returns. I mean Jesus.

    Does not matter, she still gave more than the cheap Biden. We know Joe ain't a good Catholic with donations like that. Must be spending all his money on hair plugs and brain operations.
