Vice President Joe Biden used a Black History Month event at his official residence Monday night to decry the rich, both white and black, for stunting economic growth and suggested that “emancipation” is in order.
“A lot of wealthy white and black people aren't bad but they control 1 percent of the economy and this cannot stand,” Biden told about 100 guests, including past civil rights activists and NBC weatherman Al Roker.
“It's not fair because the business experts are saying that concentration of wealth is stunting growth. So let's do something that's worthy of emancipation,” said Biden, according to a press pool report of the event.
Then, explaining the impact of Civil War era emancipation, Biden concluded, “What happened is not only did we move toward freeing black Americans but also the conscience of white Americans.”
The White House has made income inequality an issue for the last two years of President Obama’s second term in office.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden lives on an estate in Greenville, DE, the richest community in DE.
FUJB.
YOU FIRST, JOE!
Graduated bottom of his class University of Deleware!
What a cancer this guy is on this great country. Did you see all the groping?

“...OTHER peoples money...”
Yep. My thoughts exactly.
This will be a recurring theme leading up to the 2016 election.
The fact that most of the one percent are regime affiliates goes unmentioned of course.

Actually,
The stupid, is strong in this one - yoda
You go first, Joe, the IRS will gladly take your contribution.
I agree with the Veep. First, assess the wealth of all liberals urging “emancipation” of wealth, and then relieve them of 99% of the amount of their own assets. I’m sure they’d all be happy to contribute to the welfare of all those “starving” Americans. (snicker)
I wonder what this clown spends his own money on...? Perhaps he spends his money at Clintons Pervert/Pedophile Island.
