I know I could look it up myself, but if you're going to spew stats like that, then back it up with a link.

I can't blame for not believing him seeing as Obama spewed out numbers last night that weren't true.

John McCain - AGI = $386,527
Donations to Charity = $105,467
Percentage of AGI to charity = 27.3% (more on this in a minute?)

Ok, well if the guy has 7 houses, I'd really like to know how much Cindy McCain makes in a year and what she's donating.

Quote:

Cindy and John McCain are the primary contributors to the McCain Foundation
The McCain Foundation received $176,508 in donations in 2007
If John McCain accounts for $105,467 - that is approximately 60% of the Foundation?s contributions.

Ok, well, I'm going to guess she donates the bulk of the difference there, which, um, doesn't appear to be very much. So I'd have to say that the percentage is seriously skewed if you do not consider her income.

I mean, if my wife made 7 figures, I'd probably start donating a larger portion of my income to charity.

$4.1 million. Sure knocks that percentage down a bit.

you are assuming that she donates to no other charities other than the mccain foundation. it is possible to donate to more than one charity.

I think even the McCains have lost track of how many houses/properties they have.

Campaign releases Cindy McCain's tax returns - Deep Background - msnbc.com

Quote:

In April, John McCain's campaign released his tax returns. Sen. McCain's taxable income was $258,800 last year. "In the past two years, Senator and Mrs. McCain have contributed $340,323 to charitable causes," the campaign said.

Well, not too many other charitable causes. She made $6 million in 2006, so does anyone with a calculator want redo the percentages here?
