(FOX NEWS) – President Biden and Vice President Harris each gave less to charity than the average taxpayer for their level of earnings, with Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff donating far below what most in their high income bracket contribute, according to their 2021 tax returns released Friday.
The poorest Americans were far more generous than either couple.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden reported federal adjusted gross income of $610,702 in 2021 and paid $183,925 in federal and state income taxes while giving $17,394 to charity, about 2.8%. According to 2016 data from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the average charitable deduction for those making between $500,000 and $2 million is 3.1% of adjusted gross income. Filers earning between $100,000 and $500,000 donate 2.9%.
