Joe Biden: Rich Guys Like Mitt Romney Just Don‘t Understand ’Middle Class Folks Like Me’
The Blaze ^ | 7/11/12 | Jason Howerton

Posted on 07/11/2012 11:35:46 AM PDT by Nachum

As Keith Koffler of the White House Dossier points out, Vice President Joe Biden actually thinks he’s part of the middle class. This, despite the fact he made nearly $400,000 in 2011, placing him comfortably in the “rich” category President Obama has created in his bid to raise taxes on the country’s top income earners making over $250,000-per-year.

However, addressing the National Council of La Raza in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Biden — without mentioning he and his wife had an adjusted income of $379,000, according to his 2011 tax return — suggested he is just your average middle class Joe (no pun intended).

“For middle class folks like me, and most of you, owning a home is maybe the most consequential element of our existence to be able to provide for our families,” he said.

He went on to say rich people or “these guys,” including GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, don‘t understand what it’s like for regular people in the middle class. Biden even quoted Romney as saying, “Let the market hit bottom,” in response to the housing crisis of 2008.

Very few people can understand idiots like Biden. It isn’t about class. It’s about no class, as in zip, nada, just mindless stupidity.

Bidendork, your political corruption makes you very upper class (in terms of worth, not intellect).

Your intellect makes you lower than the lowest class - because I know some folks who are very poor who could outthink you twelve days after they were dead.

Shove it up your smelly Obama, Biden. Were it not for politics, you’d not even qualify to pick up dog poop.

Dopey Joe Biden pretending that he’s part of the middle class borders on delusion if he really believed it but more likely indicates a politicians cynicism from a guy who has lived high off the public teat for decades while affecting a ‘regular guy’ persona that only those willing to believe it would ever buy. Biden is a total phoney - just like his boss.

Romney also doesn’t understand the plight of black women like Elizabeth Warren.

Or mentally handicapped people like Wasserman Schultz.

Uncle Joe’s class status depends who his audience is.

He should try Hillary’s “I ain’t in no way tiiiired” speech and dialect.

To paraphrase conservative actress Morgan Brittany, they(the Democrats) really think we are completely stupid. Only someone who’s been living under a rock could possibly think Biden is “middle class”.

In addition to his $400,000 salary, doesn't Biden get his housing for free?

Considering that the only "work" he has to do as part of his job is to break tie votes in the Senate (presiding over sessions is usually outsourced to someone else), it's nice work if you can get it.
