Patriotic to pay higher taxes? You go first, Joe.


There's nothing stopping you from giving more, you know.

Joe Biden opens his mouth:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden says that paying higher taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans.

As usual, the AP declines to mention that Obama’s tax hike will hit business owners – amusingly, this puts them ahead of Joe Biden, who was apparently unaware of the tax hike in the first place – but still: it’s nice to see that the venerable Democratic tradition of having their politicians pontificate about how other people should spend their own money is alive and well in 2008. Brilliant choice there, Senator Obama. Perfect encapsulation of your message of change.

PS: “Vetting.” Vet-ting. You’ve heard of it, right, Senator Obama? I mean, sheesh: I think that my household donated more last year, and we’re one-income these days{*}.

Yeah, yeah, I know: it’s what you advocate for Other People’s Money that counts.

{*}Higher-up minions of the VRWC, take note. Yes, yes: cow, milk, price differential, I get it.

Republicans gain votes. Joe Biden is one of the best things to happen in this election.

Now if Obama just continues failing to shut this idiot up, this election’s in the bag.

 

I took a double take....

…when I saw this! I said to myself “there is no way he just said that”. Well, I guess he did!

Patriotic to pay more taxes? He connects to the working folks like oil in water!

Hey Joe, do you think “patriotic” may also refer to supporting our troops just like the colonists supported the fight against the Torys? I guess not.

How about love and pride for ones country instead of trying to undermine its very foundation, do you think that may be “patriotic”? I did’nt think so.

Gaffster Joe strikes again!!!!

 

So is Biden saying Rangel hates the USA?

coal plants are going to be built here.
You gotta love Joe.

Biden says no to clean coal in America

 

Maybe that's why Biden doesn't give charity

Those deductions would be unpatriotic, LOL.

I wonder how much charity his son gave while he was knocking down $1.3M as head of a dummy hedge fund?

 

I think Biden is correct.

especially if America is already a Socialist state during the first 2 years of Obama/Biden administration.

That’s funny! I didn’t feel more patriotic during the Clinton years. Anyone else?
