Gores' Charitable Giving Raises Some Eyebrows


WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, April 15) -- In a 34-page 1997 federal tax return, Vice President Al Gore and wife Tipper reported giving $353 to charity, an amount much lower than donations the family has made in previous tax cycles.

That figure is less than one-tenth the typical contribution amount for someone with the Gores' adjusted gross income of $197,729. That fact has caused some bewilderment in philanthropic circles because of the vice president's "good guy" image as an advocate for public service and social causes, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.


$353 - What a "generous" guy......he's ALL heart!

Unclaimed donations to charity?
But somehow, Gore's tax return from 1997 is a validation of Republican malfeasance for the last 30 years. I guess that's all the bimbos have.

No, he would still have to show the income. It looks like the VP's salary is only about $200k. Maybe he had all his investments in escrow someplace so his only taxable income for the year was his salary minus a standard deduction? I guess that would explain the low income. The low charity number is pretty silly, especially of he expected to make his taxes public.

Obviously, that's just troll bait. Gore is just another politician, apparently one with poor judgement.

Nice, baseless slur.
Do you have any objective documentation for this, or is it simply made up?

I've always known who the trolls are; but they are only fun to play with until they get boring (we need to look under some bridges and find some smarter trolls).

Everyone knows about gore too, I just don't understand why he didn't have any income while he was VP?
