Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to stumble over his words while discussing the economy and taxes on Tuesday night.
"Why should someone who's clipping coupons in the stock market may, in fact, pay a lower tax rate than someone who in fact is, like I said, a schoolteacher and a fireman? It's ridiculous," Biden said.
Biden made those comments while appearing at the fourth Democratic debate. Biden has long been the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination but is facing a potential challenge Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who has been gaining traction in key states.

Clipping coupons is a legacy term for those whose income (at least in part) derived from payments on bonds
So you are saying it is sort of like when we Freepers talk about "pulling a lever" for a candidate, even though mechanical voting machines have gone away?

He meant to say supermarket.
Shows where his head is at. These Senators make millions in insider trading.

I had a grandmother who clipped _bond_ coupons—but she died more than twenty years ago—at the age of eighty five!

I should add—my grandmother voted Democrat—because back in those days they actually represented normal working citizens—instead of illegal aliens and sexual perverts.

There are still a bunch of tractors in service that have crank starting. My old AC WD45 had a crank start.

It's unfortunate that these observations came out before he got the nomination. God willing, he will still be the Democrat nominee. My thoughts exactly. The others seem more game ready than Biden.

What does Biden and his friends have planned for the 17th.
17th of October, Joe?
That video makes Biden look like a conehead from that angle.

That should read:
“What DO Biden and his friends have planned for the 17th?”
In regards to removing President Trump from office.
Hello, Secret Service. Maybe keep an extra lookout on the 17th.
Because we cannot decipher exactly what Joe Biden meant by this.

Clipping coupons has been ancient history for decades. I worked in the market for decades and remember.

It seems to be happening fairly often now - this recalling old memories... It actually is sad to see.

It is not his age, as I worked with a woman until she was in her nineties, and she was sharper than the 30 and 40-year olds... Warren is probably part witch and put a hex on Sanders and Biden.

The term, when current, was also a pejorative for the idle rich upper class who derived their income from investments that were usually made with inherited money. As you reported, their “effort” at “working” consisted exclusively of clipping payment coupons off of the certificate and sending them in for payment.

Actually happened to be watching when this happened. I had no idea at the time, and still, have zero idea on what he was trying to say. I just don’t think the guy is all there. Not his fault, it’s just age I guess. It still seems that the MSM wants him and thinks he is the only one who can beat DJT in 2020. They were certainly blasting Poco’s performance on the post-debate coverage I caught. I follow a few progressive figures on Twitter (hilarious watching them scream about Bernie “being treated unfairly again”) and they are just enraged this guy is being propped up by the establishment.
