In another thread today a Google Earth photograph reveals the Joe Biden Compound has at least 4 houses, swimming pool, tennis courts, and other amenities. A review of his 2005, 2006, and 2007 Income Tax Returns indicate he reports a net worth of about $470,000. It was reported he has no home note, suggesting his home/homes are paid for. So, how does a person who has never made much more than $150,000 per year amass proterty of magnitudes 10 times or more what he reports to the sentate?
So, Mr. Biden, how many homes do you have. You did not include the value of the four homes on your compound in the report to the senate and the IRS. How many homes beyond the four at your compound do you have? It is legitimate to ask of McCain, it is legitimate to ask you.
I agree with you, and nearly every freeper who posted on this thread. The problem is, the question was put to McCain as a 'gotcha' question, knowing that the homes of Cindy/John were held mostly in her trusts and McCain, to be thoughtful and accurate would have to actually look at the properties and in what shelter vehicle they were held. So rather than say something which could later be proven to be untrue (dems would characterize as lying) when he actually did not know the status of Title.
So my question to Joe, is, "How many homes (houses) do you have or hold in trust, or have quitclaimed away over the past, say 15 years. in order to keep the public from knowing the truth. How many land trusts do are you, or your wife, or your children hold to prevent prying eyes from knowing the truth of ownership (control) Remember Joe, we are 'workin' folk' out here, and you have been labeled by none less than Barak Hussein Obama Jr. to be the conciounce of the working man in the senate.
ah.....he claims to have working class parents so we can assume he made his money the usual democrat way?
I searched Delaware’s public online database of deeds. Found 21 deed transfers involving the Bidens (Sr., Jr., III) since 1961.
Only a few newer ones have the details online. You have to pay to get a printout of the ones not online.
Here’s the only one having $$$ details online for the Barley Mill address (the area shown in the aerial photos):

Here’s a map outlining the boundaries of the parcel:
I think some enterprizing journalist for FOX or the Washington Times might ear his bones on this very question. Obama made it an issue, therefore it must be a legitimate question.
I thought that was because the properties are Cindy's...not John's, right?
I think BW had plastic surgery to give that look to his eyebrows so he always looks concerned.
And let us not forget, while Obama 'dares to compare'. . .how many homes did McCain own when he was Obama's age?
How many homes might Obama own; by the time he is the age of McCain. . .I would bet; he will own more; that he will be deeply embedded in the most grandiose of living; and his half-brother will stil be living in a box or a 'hut'. . .a shack; WHATEVER. . .as will many in America, by the time Obama is finished creating 'Change' for America.
Don’t forget his first wife and child were killed in a traffic accident many years ago. I’m sure the insurance money made it’s way toward the home purchase.
The actual value of the home compound is significant. Delaware doesn’t reassess home values and the value probably has been static for quite a few years.
Am sure that Biden’s financial worth is singnificantly higher. . .where he put’s it; how he hides it. . .whose name he hides it under; don’t know; but this figure totally unrealistic for a pro like Biden. NO way. . .
Total Area (sq. ft.): 6850
# Rooms: 10
I wonder who lives in the second home on his property?
The second home is listed as being on the “Biden Property”, but apparently not owned by him, and he’d not listed on the sales history:

In all fairness Jim, it is in the liberal mindset to outspend their means not matter how much those means are...you know live for today and damn tomorrow..that sorta thing. It's the same way they approach confiscating your tax dollars.
Either there is a zero missing in that number or the guy is in big trouble. Well he does get a $170k salary for life...
Not according to the Biden's.
he and Jill sold their house in order to help pay for their sons’ tuitions and took a second mortgage to pay for their daughter’s.......
It cost $350,000 in 1996, valued at $525,700 (of which $81,700 is for 4.17 acres of land). 6850 sq ft. Residence 2 is 1900 sq ft (probably his mom’s home- he’s a good guy for taking care of his mom, to be fair). It is a long, narrow strip with a larger shape at end, like a key shaped parcel. This is his main residence, not sure of others.
I’ve seen other reports, I thnk it is NOT included in any of their reports.
I think he prob built it for his mom, who has a home on his property. It is smaller and less fancy.
But he also co-signed LARGE loans for his son’s education...though that may be for law school. I think he is poor, by Senate standards.
