Tithing to the Mormon church is not charity it is a requirement to keep his position, as a bishop, in the church. Plus, these "charitable" donations are tax deductible in most cases. Money out to make you look good; money right back in in the form of tax deductions. Even more disgusting if you consider he pays half the tax rate that I do.
Mittens charitable donations are pretty minuscule considering he claims he is worth $250 million which is a joke. If we actually saw all his tax returns I bet you would find he is a billionaire that does the good American thing and hides his money offshore.
There are some very good wealthy people out there that have pledged to give most of their money to charity.

That is a good list but not very long.
Funny thing is a banner ad for Chinese made Levis popped up on top of the page when I opened it.
I give to charity and I volunteer some of my time to help folks that do not have it as good as I do. I wonder if Mittens would like to help me feed the people, down on their luck, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner this year, at the Salvation Army. I doubt he would return my call.
Bill Gates, we can save that discussion for a time when I have more time. Sure, he is very wealthy, but how did he get there.
I just read through his and his better half's charitable donations. It seems international concerns get the most money. He has an interest in building international markets for his crap operating system. To answer your obvious question I do not run any micro$lop software and never will.
