Obama Posts Tax Returns

In an attempt to highlight what he claims is a lack of transparency from rival Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama posted his tax returns on the Internet today.

Paul Caron: "What is surprising, given the recent controversy over Obama's membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ, is how little the Obamas gave to charity -- well short of the biblical 10% tithe for all seven years.  In two of the years, the Obamas gave far less than 1% of their income to charity; in three of the years, they gave around 1% of their income to charity.  Only in the last two years have they given substantially more as their income skyrocketed -- 4.7% in 2005 and 6.1% in 2006."
