charitable contributions, as percentage of adjusted gross income

• george w. and laura bush: 8.2%
• richard and lynne cheney: 10.2%
• jim winstead jr.: 12.5%

figures for bush and cheney via associated press. we’re all way above and beyond the national average of around 2%. (and those figures are just for those that itemize. as the report from the urban institute suggests, the actual average may be much lower.)
