John Podhoretz with the New York Post is by no means a Romney supporter. It's hard to imagine this reporter with a Romney bumper sticker considering he recently gave some criticism of the former presidential candidate that caused radio host Mark Levin to call him a "trash-mouther" who was "giving aid and comfort to Obama."
However, Podhoretz recently learned something that, in his words, "leaves no doubt about one thing: Mitt Romney is an extraordinarily, remarkably, astonishingly generous man. A good man. Maybe even a great man.
"That is all. There is no 'but.' Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant, stupid, or a liar."
Pretty strong words from a man accused of being an aid to President Obama. So what brought about this view?
Romney's tax records. Last year, Romney earned $14 million, paid $1.9 million in taxes, and donated $4 million in charity. In fact, Podhoretz says it's likely "that over the past 20 years the Romneys have donated more than $50 million to charity."
Then, Podhoretz dived into how being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints influences Romney's charitable giving—both through what he pays in tithing and how the Church's teachings inspire him to be charitable beyond just 10 percent.
