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.

Sanders and his kind are smart enough to steal and take bribes. Biden is dumber than dirt and if his IQ was a point lower he would be a brickbat !!

Sanders is a smart guy...

Don’t agree with Sander’s politics anymore... but he’s not a fool.

Sanders DID NOT EARN HIS MONEY BY GIVING ‘SPEECHES’ TO MONEYGRUBBERS. Or sell out his country for thirty pieces of silver a million times over... he’s NOT Hillary Clinton...

Bernie is not a socialist. That’s just his schtick and political persona to con voters. He lives a comfortable and privileged lifestyle.

LOL! Thank you. If, for whatever reason with only 6 weeks left, he should get tossed in to replace hildabama, the only clip run should be the creepy uncle joe clip of him gettin’ inside too many ladies comfort zones. Chester the molester would be proud.

My bet is Sanders got a windfall from some Clinton slush fund to not continue his challenge to Hillary at the convention. Note Sanders just suddenly came up with $600+ thousand to buy a fourth home on the beach right after the convention. Not bad for a guy who never had anything but a government job and once lived in a shack.

Biden, Bernie, Barry, Hillary and other former and current members of the Gang o 535 should be in federal prison.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt...

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands...

10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician...

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

Well Barack’s networth grew by over 10 millions dollars while he and you were in office. What they heck were you doing?

Both Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have high-paid wives. As did Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Up to 2008, Joe Biden’s wife received $42,000 per year teaching two courses a semester as an adjunct at a community college. This is maybe three times the going rate for adjuncts.

(She is now a full-time associate professor at a community college, making a representative salary.)

Also up to 2008, Michelle Obama was a senior vice president at a hospital corporation, for external relations, making $316,000 per year. Even for Chicago, this sounds on the high side. But, maybe it’s the going rate.

Jane O’Meara Sanders until recently was President of a small college in Vermont. It went bankrupt under her leadership and closed down soon after she left. She was paid $170,000 a year, which is hard to assess whether that was fair or not since Presidents of small colleges vary so much in their salaries.

As for becoming wealthy, everyone who works regularly should become wealthy. First, there is Social Security and Medicare. Until they take those away from those of us who work, you know, the deplorables they hate so much, that’s part of it.

Then, you might have a private pension or your own IRA. Regular contributions into it, invested through thick and thin in stocks, and tax-free accumulation within it, should add up to a bundle. For people who are nervous, just throw away the periodic statements you get, until you retire.

Third, actually pay off the mortgage.

I would hope that, with a President like Donald Trump, we who are able, take to heart his goal to make America rich again.

Biden trying on his running shoes/ stump speech.
Just in case Hillary drops out for ‘health’ reasons. And I think it’s a distinct possibility.

Hey now. No tax avoidance will be tolerated even if you’re following the law. You should be ashamed. We always try to pay more than we’re supposed to, said nobody, ever. Funny thing is, those that complain about the debt and that we’re not collecting enough tax never volunteer to send a check to help reduce the debt. No restrictions on doing that. Those that feel obligated, pony up and send it in.

Joe doesn’t need wealth, the Taxpayers will be footing the Bill for his Drool Cup and Diapers and his Room with a View at the Old Politician’s Home.

Yup. Aren’t we lucky we get to pay for him and the lyin’ king for the rest of their (or our) miserable lives. Warm and fuzzy.

The house purchase is interesting. Thanks for verifying that I’m not completely losing it.

People don’t seem to notice that elected officials having jobs paying from $174,000 are often millionaires after a few years in office. I think I am the only one troubled by this.

With regards to the Clintons, people say his speaking and books generate that income for their $121 million net worth. I cry foul again. I know some best selling authors who make little more than you or me. It is all so obviously corrupt and sleazy.

Check his kids bank accounts. I’m sure there’s a buck or two hidden there.

He is a load of horse dung that displays his lack of intelligence on a daily basis.
