Former Vice President Joe Biden, now running for president, told a gathering of ministers and community activists on Monday that the American public is ready for institutional change, and he indicated that he'll raise taxes to accomplish that, if elected:
Biden said it's "pure selfishness" to object to higher taxes that would help pay for programs benefiting the black community.

Biden is the gift that keeps on giving.
Just remember how well the “I WILL raise your taxes!” message worked for President Dukakis.
I pay over 50% of my money in taxes....

I guess you are for keeping SALT, huh, FAST FINGER’S?
Says the man who has NEVER worked for any of the money paid to him by the TAXPAYERS of his State.
A classic—must reading for every intelligent person:

And it is criminal the way govt commits fraud, waste, and abuse with our tax dollars. Fix that nagging inconvenient fact and maybe sufficient savings wouldn’t “necessitate” MORE taxes.
<><>all the Biden brothers?
<><> his son Hunter?
<><> his sister who made millions on Joe's campaign?
<><> anybody else who profited by being named Biden?
<><> Biden's ex-aides who became millionaires from getting federal grants?
Did Joe Biden pay taxes on all his income from political hanky panky?
Your marginal income-tax rate may be 50%, but how much is your total tax? Don’t forget property taxes (even if your landlord pays on your behalf from your rent), sales taxes, payroll taxes (both employer and employee sides), highway tolls, gasoline taxes, car registration taxes, cigarette and liquor taxes if you partake, and every other form of taxes. It’s probably considerably more than your marginal rate, especially in a high-tax state like Maryland.
Now, consider that Congress decides to balance the budget and repay the debt over the next decade without decreasing spending. And your state and local governments decide to bail out their underfunded pension funds within the next decade, again without cutting spending. That’s the tax rate that awaits your children.
So who wants to pay more in taxes than he receives in income? That’s quite likely soon the situation of many good, hardworking Americans, even if they soon find jobs.
If we elect anarcho-Communist insurgency supporters like Joseph Robinette Biden, then you can expect the complete collapse of the free-enterprise system and far worse. And he’s catastrophically, amazingly still ahead in the polls.
Alternative, vote for Donald John Trump, who wants to quash the insurgency, overturn big-government bans on a third of the entire economy (bans rooted ostensibly in coronavirus hysteria), quit killing innocent babies, and save the lives of Americans and people around the world.
Fine.
Lead by example and give all your money to the government.
And pay my taxes while you’re at it if you;’re such a big fan of them, cause I’m not.
Politico published in-depth exposé on financial ties between the former VP'S younger brother, James, and a high-powered D.C. lobbyist.
<><> James Biden and his wife purchased an acre of land in the posh Virgin Islands for $150,000 in May 2005. A year later, James resold 1/3rd of that acre to Scott Green, a 'national security lobbyist who formerly served a Senate staffer for Joe Biden. Green paid $150,000 for the land, even though tax assessed value was only $38,000. In effect, m/m Biden got their money back while keeping most of the landrecouping their investment in just 12 months.
Any money that Green may have lost through the deal was offset when Joe Biden became vice president.
<><> In 2010 Green and members of the lobbying firm he founded, "the Lafayette Group," were frequent visitors at the Obama-Biden White House.
<><> Greens ties to the Biden clan seemed to be especially beneficial. On April 11, 2010, the Lafayette Group was awarded two taxpayer-funded contracts from FEMA worth a total of $5.8 million.
Other members of the Biden family did just as well.
<><> Bidens brother, Frank, benefited from $54 million in taxpayer-backed loans to Caribbean nations heavily involved in real estate and solar power projects he was pursuing in the region. ...even though he lacked a background in solar energy or international real estate development.
<><> Similarly, Biden's sister, Valerie, received millions in fees during the 2008 election. Valerie, was campaign manager for her brothers failed presidential campaign that year; she paid her own consulting firm, Joe Slade White & Company, $2.5 million for its services.

Yes, the Boston Tea Party.....pure selfishness.
So this a$$clown want to take more taxes from me, in order to put it into black neighborhoods, so that in a few years or so, they can riot/burn/loot/destroy it again? No thanks, I’m gonna be selfish, and keep as much of my money as I can. Screw him, and screw them.
How many in this country don’t pay taxes? 50%?
That’s Old Slow Joe’s voting base.
This man is dangerous, not only because of his dementia but b/c of his core beliefs. What scarey is how much support this fool has.
Great Idea Joe,
I Propose a 40% reduction in Pay and Elimination of all Health Insurance for ALL Non Military Federal Employee’s, As you Know Barry and I created the BEST Healthcare System the World has ever seen, Obamacare. They can ALL enjoy it’s benefits like the rest of America. All saved funds shall be used for programs to benefit the black community.
Leaders LEAD by example, Show us How Joe.
I can see how your government programs have “helped” blacks. I can also see how you have helped yourself Mr Biden. I sincerely like President Trumps method so much better.
Less hand out and more hand up. Helping others to stand beside you rather than trickle down on them.
Yep, thats a democrat for you. Bill Clinton wouldnt even use the word tax. When Clinton spoke of raising taxes, he referred to them as incentives. Democrats are liars and truly are the enemy of freedom and the American people!
Confiscatory taxation and taxes on the rich:
Mass prosperity requires economic progress, which requires a pro-capitalistic political program, which requires rationality, natural rights, including private property rights, capital accumulation, and technological progress and advances.
The total abolition of the personal and corporate income taxes and of the inheritance tax is an essential feature of a pro-capitalist political program. It is required by the individuals right to his own property. In addition, progress toward the abolition of these taxes helps to create the conditions required for economic progress, by increasing economic incentives, and the ability to save, both of which serve to promote capital accumulation, and thus a rising productivity of labor and rising average real wage rates.
Keep talking, Slow Joe. Your MSM cohorts/staff can’t explain that away as a gaffe.
SlowJoe is pathetically selfish for running a criminal family enterprise for decades, stealing from public funds here in the USA and in Ukraine. What a disgusting, arrogant thief and fool. He should be in prison for his many and continuing crimes.
