Biden is historically a tightwad when it comes to charitable donations.
From 1998 to 2008, he and his wife donated a total of $3,690 in charitable donations, or 0.2% of their income. That makes it an average of $369 a year.
While it is unclear which organizations the Bidens gave most of that money to, their 2008 tax returns do show one donation: clothing worth $550, given to Goodwill.
Based on available tax returns from 1998 to 2019, the Bidens have given a total of $1.4 million to charitable causes. But it wasn't until he started raking in the millions that they started to give more generously.
In 2017 they gave 9% of their income to charity. In the breakdown, you see that they gave $100,000 to the Joseph Biden Foundation. Not exactly selfless.
One year, in which he made over $11 million dollars, cannot make up for the dismal record of giving during his entire career.
Do you think Joe will donate his salary like Trump did...nope he is too greedy. I dont think our Presidents should get a salary. It should be a privilege to be President.
Donald Trump should never have donated his salary, he never paid any taxes.
So what? Eisenhower had a girl friend and so did H. Ever read much about them? Any guy who makes it that far up the political ladder has groupies, too. Pence is the only person committed enough to his vows to ignore them.
I never voted for a Kennedy. I did vote for Biallry when she ran against Trump because I voted for the courts and cleaner air and water.
You can post stuff about how awful Ds are. I can post stuff about how awful Rs are. Nothing will change until the American voter elects people who have moral compass. Get big money out of politics. No former politician can work for a lobbying firm. No dark money PACs. Any candidate who refuses to sign on to those changes should not get one vote.
I agree with you on some of these things and disagree on others.
Joe will probably keep his salary, but he won't spend a quarter of a billion dollars flying to his properties to play golf four times a week. I'd say the country will come out far ahead financially.
"but he won't spend a quarter of a billion dollars flying to his properties to play golf four times a week."
The wild exaggerations like this is why you have ZERO credibility with many on here and are accused of suffering SEVERELY from TDS!

Lol...you are definitely getting a lot of "whataboutism" in your replies. Instead of just simply answering the question. I guess using whataboutism as a retort is only okay when one side uses it.....
He's rich but he's not Trump rich -- he's not an elitist. He's worked hard -- wasn't handed a boat load of money from daddy.
But a rich liberal to you is some sign of socialism a rich Republican --oh they work hard for what what they have inherited.
Hypocrites, idiot...whatever.
Lol! Joe is definitely a elitist, also just because one inherits money doesn’t mean they are set for life, unless one works to continue making money you will eventually run out.
