Remember when Hillary Clinton claimed she and Bill were poor when they left the White House?
Joe Biden is now apparently trying the same strategy.
He recently said that he was the poorest man in government after leaving the Obama White House.
From The Hill:
“My son’s comments speak for themselves. Let’s keep the focus here. The president of the United States says he wants to talk about corruption. Well, let’s talk about corruption. He is running the most corrupt government in the history of the United States of America, number one. Number two, he also is in a position where, as he talks about corruption, he is engaged in practices that, in fact, everyone around the world is looking and saying ‘how in God’s name can this man be doing that while he’s president?’” Biden said.
“Mr. President, you want to talk about corruption,” Biden continued. “I’ve released 21 years of my tax returns. I entered as one of the poorest men in Congress, left one of the poorest men in government, in Congress, and as vice president. I made no money while I was in there other than my salary. Mr. President, even Richard Nixon released his tax returns. Mr. President, release your tax returns or shut up.”

Is that right, Joe?
Things sure turned around quickly.
Biden’s 2017 tax return shows he was earning $396K in 2016, and made $15 million in the two years since.

Does he think no one remembers the Hillary story?
Biden is trying to channel Clinton it seems. Does he always plagiarize EVERY story?

This is also a great point:
Poorest men in Government are still way richer than the average citizen. They all enrich them selves and their families. It needs to stop.

Stop trying to play the “regular guy” card, Joe.
You were the Vice President for eight years.
