Obama Releases 2000-2006 Tax Returns
Barack Obama today released his 2000-2006 tax returns:

•2006 Return
•2005 Return
•2004 Return
•2003 Return
•2002 Return
•2001 Return
•2000 Return
Here is a summary of the figures:



What is surprising, given the recent controversy over Obama's membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ, is how little the Obamas apparently 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. (Of course, it is possible that the Obamas may have made gifts to other worthy causes that were not deductible for federal income tax purposes.)
