'Middle class Joe' Biden cashed in to the tune of $15 million after leaving vice presidency

Joe Biden has released his tax returns as part of the Democrats' campaign to force the release of President Trump's tax returns. Access to those returns, with hundreds, probably thousands of pages each year, would enable them to niggle-to-death every detail. It's an obvious trap intended to distract and mire a president who has accomplished an astounding list of achievements, starting with reversing the "new normal" of stagnation that Obama assured us would require a "magic wand" to reverse.

But it turns out that Biden has made himself and his wife, "Doctor Jill Biden" (with a doctorate in education), into multimillionaires in just over two years. Even NPR sees the problem for his image:

I think it was in reference to the person doing that job. But be careful or you may get an invite out behind the gym. :-)

Yup...

If you actually do take a look at the article: do look at the article:

I don’t know about you, but I prefer my rich politicians to have made their money before they enter what is laughably called “public service.”

Of Biden can be said what originally was said of the early missionaries who came to Hawaii and bought up land: “They came to do good, and did very well, indeed.”

That’s reported income. What happened with the near-trillion pile of jobs and bailout dough obama gave to biden to handle at the start of the admin?

Gore leveraged the same position and influence to cash in for about $400 million, once again illustrating what a lummox Biden is - he’s exponentially less intelligent than the rubber doorstop that is Al Gore.

The American experiment is a failure. The system is broken and can’t be fixed without another civil war. Thinking elections are going to make it right is pure fantasy.

I concur except for one glimmer of hope.

Trump destroys the whols Democrat corrupt shebang.

He has the evidence to do so And I think he has no choice.

He must either destroy the progressive left or preside over America perishing

Well, $15 million is kinda the middle - between $10 million and $20 million...

The sad part is that the SOB ain’t worth Z$15 million (Zimbabwean dollars); the exchange rate is about US$1 to 35 QUADrillion Z$. That’s Z$35,000,000,000,000,000.

Cannot understand why anyone would want to see him talk, but is someone is willing to pay him...good for him.

I don’t begrudge Trump his money, I don’t begrudge any person a decent living.

I don’t either but it amazes me that some folks are so out of touch that they think some of these assclowns are a font of knowledge.
