Mitt Romney has taken considerable hits regarding his income and his taxes. His critics seldom praise his generosity.
Romney's released returns report that he gave about 16.5 percent of his income to charity, much of it to the Mormon Church. The Obamas also contributed generously with a 14.4 percent charitable rate. Newt and Callista Gingrich's 2.6 percent did not come close. The Bidens stood at 1.3 percent.
Observers note that Mormons tithe. They may tithe at greater rates than others, but their church is not the only one that sets such a goal. The leaders of stewardship and every member canvas campaigns would love to have believers such as Romney in the pews.
