Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his wife, Jill, earned $333,000 in 2009, and gave $4,820 -- 1.44 percent -- of that to charity in cash or in-kind donations, according to their newly released tax forms.
Estimates by charitable organizations show that most givers donate between 3 and 5 percent of their income.
Mr. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama exceeded that range. The first couple gave 5.9 percent -- or $329,000 -- of their $5.5 million of income to charity in 2009.
