Tax season blows chunks. And it blows even MORE chunks when you see firsthand that these “generous” liberals who constantly run off being, well, generous, are anything but.
Top lib Bill de Blasio and his wife just released their 2017 tax returns. They made $223,000. Guess how much they donated to charity. Go ahead. Guess.
Looking over de Blasio’s 2017 tax return. Earned $223k in adjusted income and recorded a loss of $12K for his Brooklyn homes, which he rents out. He and Chirlane say they gave just $350 to charity last year. That’s $150 less than they paid their tax preparer.

Look. I know it’s none of my business, but actually yes it is. If you’re going to stand on a national platform and accuse the American people of being selfish a$$holes who need to be more generous, LEAD THE FREAKING WAY.

$350 to charity is so weirdly low. https://t.co/kSK7FMcurh

Exactly. It's odd!

Mr. Progressive gave just $350 to charity???
Remember when Romney gave over $4 MILLION to charity in 2011 and the Left called him a greedy businessman? https://t.co/zJql3w1ge4

So dude probably grossed well over $300K and gave $350 to charity.

Amazing. I don't know how you can be in public life, get a big taxpayer-funded salary, know your returns will be made public, and give less than two-tenths of one percent of your income to charity https://t.co/EMibhfZXje

@NYCMayor made over $610 every single day in 2017. He did not manage to give even one single dollar a day to charity in that same time period. https://t.co/Gq9mJi9KDi

It all comes down to one simple fact: Liberals are only generous with OTHER people’s money. As conservatives, we believe people can be and WILL be generous on their own. It’s more effective and personal. Liberals, however, have trouble being personally generous. That’s why they believe the government needs to take your money and be generous FOR you. ‘Cause they sure as heck won’t do it on their own. Just ask de Blasio.
