Pdq, I don't know what your religious beliefs are, if any, but Reagan's father was Catholic and his mother was a member of the Disciples of Christ church. As a adult, Reagan was a Presbyterian.

And as you undoubtedly know, Romney is a Mormon.

Tithing—giving ten percent of one's income to one's church—is either a requirement of membership of many churches, or at the very least, is sternly recommended.

Men as wealthy as Romney and Reagan who did NOT tithe would receive no end of grief from the churches to which they belong.

Being a Rebublican or a Democrat has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Now, if they gave MORE than 10%, to include good causes OTHER than their churches, THEN, I might be impressed.
