. . . but sometimes, it’s apropos.
Time for a quick trip in the Wayback Machine – to 1987.
Remember our current Vice President? You know, the candidate who was forced to drop out of the 1988 Presidential Campaign after being exposed as a serial plagiarizer?
Well, it looks like he’s at it again. But this time, it appears he’s taking direct liberties with the truth vice appropriating others’ words and work.
Like, well, something that looks a helluva lot like baldfaced lying.
Here’s a direct quote from the man: “I don’t own a single stock or bond. I have no savings account.”
Really, Mr. Vice-President? That’s not what the official Executive Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Report you signed says. It indicates you and your wife have a joint savings account.
Here, “joint” means you own it too, Mr. Vice-President.
Your disclosure form also shows you and she have some other accounts and investments as well. Though to be fair, none of those accounts are formally called a “savings” account, or are an individual stock or bond. Instead, they’re other forms of bank accounts and/or stock/bond funds. And most do seem to be in your wife’s name.
I guess we know which one in that couple is interested in – and capable of – planning for their future.
Still: look for someone to start asking “What difference does it make?” real soon now. Like maybe someone with a net worth of around $100M who claims to be “not truly well off”. Or perhaps Senator Fauxahontas, who publicly stated that no one in Congress should own stock – while at the time living in a $5M house and owning a stock portfolio worth around $8M.
But remember: those claims concern money, and those claims are coming from liberals. Their claims must be the truth, and can’t be motivated by greed. They have no interest in money, and only want to “do what’s best for society”, right?
Yeah. Right.
The same douchebag who told Paul Ryan and the test of us that he didn’t vote for the war and pay for it with a credit card. The same douchebag who’s son was a lobbyist and then a Senior Vice President of a hedge fund.
His son also went off to sit on the board of Burisma Holdings in Ukraine after the CIA/USAID/Soros money paid for the revolution. All the oligarchy/nepotism we accuse Russia of,well, we’re guilty of too. I guess morality is a sliding scale of which the largess(sic) mass has the greatest impact.
Hypocrites!!! And don’t even let me get wound up about Hillary’s bold faced misrepresentation of what wealth is and is not.
Ah you see, it goes all the way back to understanding what the meaning of the words *is* , is.
Slick Willy and Hildebeast are a match made in shitbag heaven.
Rich is having lots of money. Wealth is having so much money that no matter how much you spend, it will continue to grow. Wealth is where the money you have makes money, which makes more money. Money is for today, wealth is for generations to come.
But, but, they’re Progressives, it’s their feelings that are important. Facts don’t matter, just feelings.
Oh, and it’s not about their money, it’s about your money and my money, if any is left after taxes.
“To maintain a pretense of being one of the “common people” who make up the bulk of the voters, always keep your millions in your spouse’s name, as well as sufficient dirt on your spouse for leverage if the marriage fails” – Politician’s Rulebook, Rule #5.
Doesn’t Biden make fat cash from renting out his property to the Secret Service?

Even during the sequester, Biden was paid rent.
I’m still waiting for my first 5 figure redistribution-of-wealth check from one of these wealthy progtard libturd assholes.
This is me holding my breath waiting.
Or not.
