Speaking about Hillary Clinton’s tax plan on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden went on a brief tangent about his grandchildren and joked that he was worth less than Sen. Bernie Sanders, a socialist.

“I aspire for one of my grandchildren to become wealthy so when they put me in the home, I’ll get a window with a view,” he said.

“As I pointed out, it was embarrassing that Bernie Sanders’ net worth is more than mine,” Biden said. “I have less money than a socialist. I don’t know what the hell happened to me.”

“I have been doing this for 44 years. You think I’m kidding. I’m not kidding, unfortunately,” Biden added.

Well there gaffemaster flash, if you had spent more time, like most politicians, working the lobbyists for future compensation for, uh, consideration instead of eyeing little girls with bad intent and skinny dippin' in front of your SS detail, maybe, just maybe, you'd be right up there in bernme slanders bracket. So carry on with your gaffin'. No need to worry about your retirement. We'll be payin' it.

With all due respect, sir. I’d appreciate it if you don’t take variations of my screen ID and cast slanderous thoughts against my choice, especially when speaking about the plagiarist VP..... :0)

I would say Burnie is more of an opportunist than socialist.

Did you coin the “Stand up Chuck” gaffe? LOL! Sorry, no disrespect intended.

[Bubba_Leroy]

It’s embarrassing that Biden is Vice President.

Sanders net worth exceeds yours, plugs because he is smarter than you are...which really isn’t very hard to see since you broadcast your stupidity almost every day.

[Democrats hate too much]

I get the since they are still afraid of Sanders.

[Mr. K]

Sanders never held an actual job in his life

How can he be that rich?

[Gaffer]

I know. I was just funnin’

That man is a complete buffoon.

[SkyDancer]

Typical whiny liberal that someone has more than they have hence we need socialism to square the injustice of it all.

[PGR88]

Socialists are usually the greediest people I ever meet.

[rktman]

Well he did conveniently drop out of the race and acquired his lake front property soon after. Pretty darn good for never actually having a job. And they bitch about DJT?

This is interesting. I looked at Sanders’ net worth in March and it was listed at $200,000 and Biden’s was a few million, I think 5 or 6. Hillary Clinton was $12 million in March. Now I wished I had saved the sources.

[ClearCase_guy]

I also do not have a source for the numbers I remember but my memory is similar to yours.

Sanders was campaigning with a net worth of perhaps $200,000.
He lost.
And then he went out and bought a $600,000 house.

It was the least Hillary could do.

[rktman]

So should we calculate the other 11 months into the equation? :-)

Dacha envy is the ugliest of all envies.

[Billthedrill]

Sure thing, Joe. Let's see that tax return, hmm?

[rktman]

Geez, I thought by now someone would have commented on the “eyeing little girls with bad intent” part of the post. Creepy uncle joe.

Socialism is a system of aristocratic privilege and a court society. The slogan of socialism is from each according to his ability and to each according to his needs. The leaders of socialism can and do assert that they and their favorites have special needs. As one of the leaders, Bernie has special needs, so he deserves to have a high net worth for a socialist.

the groper don’t get his respect from them donors like he should
