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.

I can’t view that video clip from Twitter on my old computer. Do you have another link?
Biden referenced Trump and October 17th?

In short, #ClockworkGaffeJoe is part of the problem why he's not electable.

Red flags went up as I listened to that clip. BIDEN never could keep his mouth shut. That’s why OBAMA kept a tight rein on him.

You’re right. But owning stock often meant having actual pieces of paper with the company name and the number of shares printed on the certificate. Maybe Joe will talk about that next time...

Can I get a 10% coupon off of Amazon stock, Joe?
To: Captain Rhino
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... You're right... And a future audience? It's how people would feel fifty years from now if a 80 year old candidate referred to "the 1%" ...

Someone pointed out a weird coincidence last night trump tweeted at 11:22...as in November 22.
I don’t know if Biden was going to say something about Oct 17th and changed his mind or what. It is bizarre.

What are they talking about with Biden and October 17th??
I read through the transcript of the debate linked at Washington Post and didn’t see anything about October 17th.
I’m confused. I also can’t view the video posted on Twitter about this.

If you google it you might find a clip you can watch. You have to see it to understand. It was a slip of the tongue..or he was going to say something and changed his mind.

here is one possible explanation
🇺🇸 Lady Patriot 🇺🇸 @demneveragain · 2 Replying to @politicalwilli @almostjingo and 48 others He may have been referencing Sept 17th (Constitution Day) when they claim Trump did something with the stupid Ukraine thing. Nancy Pelosi said it numerous times. 🤷♀️

Wonder when Joe is going to bring up S&H Green Stamps. LOL! That's exactly what I was thinking...
My Mom got a toaster with her saved up Green Stamps.

No. Warren used an old Native-American curse. “May crazy old white man brain turn into pumpkin mush!”

“clipping coupons” is a reference back in the day when people annually physically clipped coupons from bonds and preferred stock to collect their interest payments ... the phrase lasted decades after those days as an idiom to refer to collecting annual interest payments from bonds and preferred stock ... not sure how much the phrase is used any more, but it’s probably on a par with referring to “record players”
i watched the clip, and aside from stumbling over the word “firefighter” and referring to a near-obsolete idiom, i didn’t see anything terribly awful ...

"Coupon clipping" was for bonds, not stocks. You would clip off a coupon every half year and mail it in to claim the interest. Thanks for explaining this, Karl. Sounded just like yet another Joe Biden non-sequitur.
