Ready for another tour of the internet, old man?

Jan. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney
donated $7 million to charity in the past two years, more than the $6.2
million the candidate and his wife paid in federal taxes in that period,
documents the campaign released show.

The Romneys donated about 16.4 percent of their adjusted gross income of
$42.5 million in the two-year period, according to their 2010 tax
returns and an estimate for 2011 taxes. The 2010 return shows $3 million
in charitable contributions, and the 2011 estimate shows $4 million.

At first glance, the dollar amount of the Romneys’ charitable giving
is “shocking,” Russell James, director of a graduate program in
charitable financial planning at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, said
in a telephone interview today.
