"Let's nominate this loser" - says all Democrats.

It's a Scooby Doo trail to follow the money from 2009 to 2020.

But he's made 15 million since leaving the White House? Middle Class Joe...

"It was during his time in the White House that Biden had stopped publicizing his tax returns.

But after years of silence, the 2020 presidential hopeful released his federal tax returns earlier this year.

Biden publicized his federal returns from 2016, 2017 and 2018 on July 9, revealing he and his wife Jill have taken in more than $15 million since leaving the Obama White House.

According to those returns and a financial disclosure document, Biden's income has surged thanks to a lucrative book deal and constant publicity tours that brought in more than $4.5 million before taxes."

Can't remember the details now, but years ago Rush said Biden was in a house he couldn't afford and had refinanced like 30 times or something, presumably with Dem banks while working with related legislation. Basically showed him as a really dumb and dirty politician.

Anyone remember this?

I guess they didnt count the vested value of his congressional / government pension in 2009?

And even if this WERE true, and Biden after a lifetime making a salary well above the average US citizen, along with all the other above-board perks that come with being a DC politician, only was worth $30k...

... then he is one of the dumbest MFers on the planet, and should be nowhere near the Oval Office.

Any and all wealth taxes should include the value of .gov pensions. Put that demand out front and center and the issue will evaporate.

I think this is plausible. He helps his family members make huge $, and Joe appears honest. I am sure some of that family money gets back to Joe.

Comrade Sanders is a multi-millionaire. You can be damn sure he didn't get that way by following Marx.

That is something that drives me nuts about Democrats. Being bad with money is a badge of honor. Stacey Abrams doesn't pay taxes for years. Mayor Pete was a Rhodes Scholar and business consultant and bragged that he was the only non-millionaire candidate. AOC couldn't afford healthcare until she became a Congresswoman. Biden made a good salary for 30 years and has a net worth of $30K?

Jesus. If you have a decent job, you should be a millionaire by 40.

15MM on tax filings, came across other forensic accounting the meteoric rise from 2009 @30k to 2020 approaching 400MM.

That's calling people 'dog faced pony soldier' money. Dumping money on schmucks often exacerbates schmucks behavior.

Biden could have been videoed with a giant cardboard check from the first national bank of Ukraine and the MSM and DNC would not care.

I don't recall the house situation but several years ago there were articles about how much money he didn't have compared to his peers in Washington.

He was pretty famous for it and folks pointed it out as a virtuous fact about him. So, I don't disbelieve he was comparatively less well off in 2009 although only 30k means he's the dumbest m'fer that has ever served as others have said.
