Life In A FishBowl

One of the benefits of being President is the ability to share your private tax information with the public. The details of Bush's return have been revealed. The one figure that stands out is the almost $70,000 of charitable contributions. I can't help but compare that with the $353 total for donations that Al Gore had on his tax return a few years back, on almost the same size income as the Bushes are reporting. It just seems to perfectly illustrate the old maxim "actions speak louder than words." Bush is willing to put his money where his mouth is, while Gore and his Fellow Travelers in the JackAss Party like to talk a lot about supporting charitable causes, but can only be generous with other people's (the taxpayers') money.
