New York (CNNMoney) – President Barack Obama and Oval Office hopefuls Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have all released at least one year of tax returns. And they all gave big money to charity.
But their donation patterns differ substantially, and in some cases provide a window into the candidate's political priorities.

Evidently Newt didn't care that several million people were going to look at his tax returns. He's a tightwad when it comes to giving to charity.
Do we get 60/ per vote? Romney is going to buy voters? What a nonsense on the pretext of charity in Democratic Elections in America!!!!God save this nation from Republican thugs.
Do right wingnuts think that anyone had more money to donate than Mittens? What the GOP leader saved by not paying taxes makes his donations pretty small in comparison.
No doubt about it, Romney has been extremely generous! A very good and decent man, just what this country needs.
In 2011, the Romney's gave $2.6 million in cash contributions to the church, and in 2010 they gave $1.5 million.
All Mormons in good standing with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are required to give 10% of their salaries as a tithe.

i personally don't consider a "required" contribution (tithe) as charitable
