Joe Biden was one of those people. I worked on his 1988 Presidential campaign financial disclosure engagement. I busted it for him and got everything right. He stiffed me for over $15,000 worth of work. He refused to pay once he dropped out of the race. I did similar Capitol Hill campaign financial disclosure work for Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan, and a Democratic candidate for Ambassador to New Zealand. All of those folks paid even though they lost the election or did not get the appointment. That type of work is very demanding and very tedious because your efforts are scrutinized by Congress. Biden did not care.

Be careful with this stuff, because one thing we don't want to have happen is for Biden to be dropped from the ticket. /½sarc

Seems like the story could have ended after he was stiffed the first time.

Joe Biden, in his latest unsuccessful run for President, chartered over $150,000 worth of air time. He PAID ZERO. He continues to refuse to pay stating his race is over and he is out of money. He never once complained about his flights. Joe Biden is a rich man. He could pay.
Biden is on of those who thinks he is above the law when "he thinks" it's a good reason themselves. These people are also very narcissistic and there attitude is you will have to take me to court and it will cost you most or more in attorney fees to get. Biden = narcissistic scum bag

Evidently, it was true, but is no longer. Snopes actually contacted Mr. Riddle. Read what he had to say at the following url.

Although grateful for his honest sharing of facts...one can’t help but say...why keep coming back to his aide? Unless you think you were “volunteering?”

There was snip of this on the web a couple of days ago. Sent it to a Obama, big time raw raw union guy I used to work with. His response, “the republicans paid him to say this.” Must be nice to live in a different universe.

Unfortunately politicians of both parties find it easy to convince themsaelves that if they lose an election they don’t have to pay campaign debts. I had to sue a losing GOPer for 15k. It wasn’t fun.
