Paradigm Holdings that his brother and son run have most of the money assets. Not filthy rich like Obama and the Clintons yet but he hasn't been president yet either. At least he's hustled his wealth instead of getting daddy's half billion like Big Dummy.
July 5, 20206 yr I like the original post and it is insightful. And, totally true. 15 million is probably more than Trump is worth. But, we will never know as we can't see his taxes.

And the sum total after taxes is not much these days. it was honest money; honestly earned. How many others can say that?

Biden's an old-school pol crook and his whole family took millions in "appreciation" money from Bank of America, MBNA, Ukraine, and China over his career. Always a % of the money disguised as "payment for ....". He was worth every penny they paid him for the "favors" he did but "honestly" must have a new meaning. Better than Trump, but still a crook.

July 5, 20206 yr Active Members I was never a big Biden fan. Here are a couple of old posts on that. Fucking hypocrite.

July 5, 20206 yr Active Members A couple fair, intelligent pieces on Biden Family corruption from "Democratic" sources. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/11/biden-bankruptcy-president/ https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-investigation-hunter-brother-hedge-fund-money-2020-campaign-227407 Over his decades in office, ‘Middle-Class Joe’s’ family fortunes have closely tracked his political career.By BEN SCHRECKINAugust 02, 20
July 5, 20206 yr I think in the event, you take the best candidate you’ve got;, then do what you can to make it better next time.
July 6, 20206 yr Active Members @tassojunior has been against all Democratic presidential candidates, not named Sanders or Gabbard, from the beginning. And with few boundaries. So here we are again, when he might actually be on target.

July 6, 20206 yr But for perspective, look at the numbers the Obamas or the Clintons got for their books.
