    Yep Biden likes to tell everyone he's just a middle class Joe. Except like his claim he is a UNION MAN in spite of the fact he never belong to nor ran a union in his life, he ain't what he claims to be.

    Biden earned up to $200,000 for paid speeches after leaving office: report
    ...Biden, who often remarks from the 2020 presidential campaign trail that he was once the poorest member of the U.S. Senate, has reportedly taken in millions of dollars since leaving the vice presidency, largely from book deals and speaking fees

    The Post reported that public documents revealed Biden's speaking fees sometimes cost as much as $200,000.

    The former vice president, who has frequently referred to himself as "Middle Class Joe,"..

    ....Before the end of the Obama administration, Biden contemplated public life, saying he had “never been gainfully employed,” adding that “I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do ... I’ve never cashed a paycheck in my entire life.”

    After leaving the vice presidency, Biden has resided in a house in McLean, Va., that comes with a “substantial monthly rent,” according to his campaign. Real estate site Zillow estimates the monthly rent to be nearly $20,000, the Post reports. He also bought a $2.7 million vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Del.

    Yeah just ole union middle class Joe.

    How about we start an investigation into those deals to see who is paying him all the money and how much of a puppet he is of them. Remember Jim Wright and his "book deals"? Don't we need to know if he will be under someone's thumb if he becomes President? Isn't that the logic and demands of the left and the Dems these days about such matters?

    Looks like the Senator from MBNA is in it for himself.

    There was an interesting side-note to all of that: It seems Sleepy Joe has some interesting riders in his speaking contracts:

    I dunno, man - angel hair pomodoro and Coke Zero? C'mon Joe, you can do better than that. Well, at least it isn't the legendary Van Halen Rider of 1982!

    Yup. We can start by making Biden release his Tax info ...

    Oh. He already released his taxes for the last twenty years.

    Mr. Trump?

    We can just get the SDNY to open an investigation and Congress can call his attorney's to testify about his activities.

    And now he is complaining about people making salaries and not getting overtime. I haven't earned a wage and OT for over 40 years and DON'T YOU DARE CHANGE THAT. It just shows how out of touch Biden is. He tried to make an example saying that a shelve stocker at Wal-Mart is denied overtime if he directs a fork lift operator where to place a palate because it makes him a manager. That's hogwash. It that shelve stocker has to work specific regular hours and account for those hours as dictated by employer, does not high level management decisions, does not have input on the hiring and firing of the staff working for them and other exemptions, he receives overtime.

    He also still seems to believe most workers want to be in a union. For decades the union certification votes have shown otherwise.
