‘Middle Class’ Joe Biden Raking in Millions Ahead of Campaign Launch
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.
Biden Financial Scam Exposed – Over 15 Million Dollars…
Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden was caught lying about his financial gains after claiming he had never made more than $400,000 in a single year.
Speaking to workers in Detroit on Wednesday, Biden said, “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.”
That is factually incorrect as the Wall Street Journal showed Biden had made $15.6 million in two years after leaving the White House.
According to the WSJ, “The former vice president, who has built his nearly five-decade political career as an advocate for middle-class families, made millions of dollars through paid speaking engagements, sales of his 2017 book, and his role as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.”
Biden took a page out of Hillary Clinton’s book and profited from paid speaking engagements. For Biden to claim he has never made over $400,000 when he has made over $7 million a year is puzzling.
Biden believes he can lie to workers because the mainstream media will cover for him, but in this information age, no stone goes unturned. Joe Biden is not an honest candidate that will fight for the American worker.
- A home in Delaware is worth $1.9 million
- A newly purchased Rehoboth beach vacation home is worth $2.9 million
- Over $100,000 per post-administration speaking gig
- A seven-figure book deal with his wife Jill Biden – estimated at up to $8 million
- Multiple vacations in St. Croix in the Virgin Islands
A Biden speaking contract obtained by MapLight detailed a $150,000 dollar speaking fee as well as a meal of angel hair Pomodoro, Caprese salad, and raspberry sorbet with biscotti.
In September 2018, Biden complained in a speech that he only made $110,000 a year as a senator in Washington, DC.
I had no disposable income,” Biden said. “Not a joke.”
As vice president, Biden received an annual salary of $230,700 and now enjoys a government pension.
The New York Times also detailed in January how Biden has created a structure to pay many of his possible future campaign aides through a series of connected non-profit and politically themed foundations on top of his book earnings and speaking fees.
A spokesman for Biden defended the former Vice President’s post-administration cash grab, noting that most of it was for paying off “debt accumulated during his time in public life” and providing for his grandchildren.
In 2016, Biden admitted that he had never held a private-sector job.
“I’ve never been gainfully employed in my life,” he said in a speech to the National Urban League’s Legislative Policy Conference.
“I’ve never cashed a paycheck in my entire life, you think I’m joking, I’m not,” he added.
He also joked in 2016 that “socialist” Bernie Sanders was wealthier than he was.
“As I pointed out, it was embarrassing. Bernie Sanders’ net worth is more than mine,” he said, putting his head in his hands as he feigned embarrassment. “I have less money than a socialist. I don’t know what the hell happened to me.”
