Biden: “I Don’t Own a Single Stock or Bond”, has 11 Investment Funds
Frontpage Mag ^ | June 23, 2014 | Daniel Greenfield

Can Democrats running in 2016 give the fake class warfare a rest? First Hillary claimed that she left the White House broke (and bought two mansions) and that after making $100 million she’s not truly well off.

Now, never one to let his foot leave his mouth for too long, Joe Biden had to jump in and cry poverty.

Hoping to establish credibility with the audience, which was gathered to discuss ways to improve working conditions for working families, Biden reminded people that he used to be the poorest member in Congress (in reality, the poorest member of the Senate) even though he now makes “a lot of money” as vice president ($230,700) and had “a mildly expensive suit on” for the event.

“Don’t hold it against me that I don’t own a single stock or bond,” Biden said. “I have no savings account but I got a great pension and I got a good salary. For real.”

But Biden’s financial disclosure for the year 2013, which was filed last month, shows that he has both a savings account and 11 different investment funds.

CBS describes that as “understated his personal financial situation just a tad”. Lying like crazy might be more accurate.

Michael Moore was complaining about the mansion he and he wife owned because citizens on the right make fun of his hypocrisy...

That's a true story.

Most of us a sick of multimillionaire liberal elites putting on baseball caps and announcing they're 'down with the people'. What a bunch of crap.

Biden, the cheapest VP we ever had....scolds us for “not caring,” but has a history of donating 0.03% to charitable causes.

Joe Biden, not only a Flake but a Fake as well.

Joe was also the first person in Neil Kinnocks family to go to college. Or was it that he was too poor to afford his own speech writers and had to steal Kinnocks life story?

Technically he may not have lied. He said he didn’t have a “single” one. He has 11...; )

I am not sure this qualifies as a lie. When I explain my portfolio to people, I say I have 5 Mutual funds and 6 individual stocks (McDonalds, Walmart, Harley Davidson, P&G, Jostens, and Mattel). Most people consider stocks separate from Mutual funds
