Oh dear.....

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.

I stand corrected then. So they pay for their own food, just like everyone else.

Poor Joe. However will he afford to eat if he doesn't get his salary? He might have to dip into his $9 million in the bank.

Donald Trump should never have donated his salary, he never paid any taxes.

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.

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.....

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.

Trump spent what... a third of his time in office at his properties? You have any idea what that’s cost taxpayers?
