Fact Check: Joe Biden Falsely Claims He’s Never Made More than $400,000 a Year
Breitbart ^ | September 11 2020 | KYLE OLSON

Posted on 09/11/2020 1:44:03 PM PDT by knighthawk

CLAIM: Joe Biden — who fancies himself as “Middle Class Joe” and “Lunch Bucket Joe” — has never made more than $400,000 a year.

VERDICT: FALSE. Previous establishment media reporting debunks Biden’s claim before a group of steelworkers in Detroit.

Sitting with four steelworkers in the Motor City on Wednesday, Joe Biden touted his tax plan, saying, “Every single thing I talk about, I pay for, by making sure, for the first time, the wealthy begin to pay what they should be paying. We’re not going to punish anybody. No one making under $400,000, which is more money than I’ve ever made, is going to have to pay more taxes.” (emphasis added)

How is that supposed to be a positive thing? Either he was incompetent or unambitious.

However, he’s actually lying, since much of the income for himself and his family is politically derived and under the table.

IF Trump’s taxes get thrown open, Biden & Harris need to have the same treatment.

OT but man what a great ad. That thing is still probably adding to Grey Poupon sales to this day.

(And of course “Would you have any grey poupon QUESTION MARK” is how Biden would say it...)

Or that he did not report it on his tax return.

The second man in the grey Poupon commercial was a great English actor named Paul Eddington: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0248844/?ref_=tt_cl_t4

You can see how much that gentle soul suffered in the last few years of his life by looking at his face in his last interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJOJA21BkAc&has_verified=1

“Eddington had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, known as mycosis fungoides, when he was 28. The ailment was to cause his death eventually, but in the intervening four decades, Eddington and his immediate family kept his condition private. It only became public knowledge in 1994, when Eddington responded to press speculation about his darkening skin and hair loss.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Eddington#Final_years_and_death

Sure, every pol in Washington puts all of his graft, kickbacks and “campaign contributions” in his tax return. Right.

Maybe Joe himself hasn’t made more than $400,000 a year. However every member of his family, their personal campaigns, and even their cats and dogs, have made multi-million dollars every year.

The article says he and Dr. Jill made tens of millions in the last several years, but Forbes magazine said last year they were worth $9 million. Where did the money go?

NO
Read the article. He was making $200k per speech and he gave 50 paid speeches 2018-2019. He got an $8 million book deal. He is lying by a factor of 20.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF TRUMP DID THIS????

Biden’s recent available tax returns show his family income jumped from $400,000 in 2016 to $11 million in 2017 as a result of his book deal.

Never Made = Never actually EARNED.

But he doesn’t include the money he and his family has stolen, taken in bribes etc, which is no doubt well into the many millions, and not including the Billion and a half the Chinese gave Hunter.
