Good, thoughtful point about Biden...

One ought also to note he’s old but not ‘rich’  by any means.

$15 million income in 2017 is more than most unemployed get. Paradigm Holdings that his brother and son run have most of the money assets. Not filthy rich like Obama and the Clintons yet but he hasn't been president yet either. At least he's hustled his wealth instead of getting daddy's half billion like Big Dummy.

I like the original post and it is insightful. And, totally true.

15 million is probably more than Trump is worth.   But, we will never know as we can't see his taxes.

He got it through his own means, not inheritance. And the sum total after taxes is not much these days.

it was honest money; honestly earned. How many others can say that?

Biden's an old-school pol crook and his whole family took millions in "appreciation" money from Bank of America, MBNA, Ukraine, and China over his career. Always a % of the money disguised as "payment for ....". He was worth every penny they paid him for the "favors" he did but "honestly" must have a new meaning. Better than Trump, but still a crook.

That is enough in this political context.

I was never a big Biden fan. Here are a couple of old posts on that.

 

Fucking hypocrite. Liar!

Once one of the poorest Senators, Joe Biden has made millions since he left the vice-presidency. In other words, he cashed in!

I think in the event, you take the best candidate you’ve got;, then do what you can to make it better next time.

@tassojunior  has been against all Democratic presidential candidates, not named Sanders or Gabbard, from the beginning. And with few boundaries.

So here we are again, when he might actually be on target.

He may very well be.

But we just don’t have too many alternatives, do we?

Huh?  He was very upset when Sanders and Gabbard endorsed Biden.  People like  @tassojunior though.

If he were a candidate, I might vote for him.

But for perspective, look at the numbers the Obamas or the Clintons got for their books.
