Biden Calls for Doubling Capital Gains Tax Rate [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 25 Aug 2019 | John Semmens

Alleging that "it was Reagan's unwarranted tax cuts that led to the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King in the 1970s," Democratic presidential candidate, former Vice-President Joe Biden called for "a doubling of the capital gains tax rate."

"Trump is taking this country down that same disastrous path," Biden claimed. "The tax cuts and deregulation he crammed down America's throat have unleashed the same explosion of prosperity and greed that characterized that tragic earlier era. We must elect Democrats to avoid repeating these earlier mistakes."

The former Veep vowed that "if I'm your next president, I will work with my good friends Sen. Byrd and Sen. Eastland to build a consensus for sensible tax reform that all Americans can support."

In related news, Dr. Neal Kassell, the man who performed brain surgery on Biden in 1988 maintains that "he is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I haven't seen any change." The more than four decades of continued incoherence emanating from Biden both before and after the surgery validates Dr. Kassell's assessment.

Let’s see. I buy a fixer-diamond in the rough. Owners were hoarders-big time. Been at it for 18 months. It will soon be a diamond. 3br and only me living in this victorian mansion. Why does he make me think of Dr. Zhivago?

It was my best read of Biden’s “thought process.”
