Biden Bans Another One

Poor Joe Biden, learns what it’s like to be Sarah Palin and can’t take it.  from Taxmanblog:

Washington Times - Biden routes campaign cash to family, their firms

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. has paid more than $2 million in campaign cash to his family members, their businesses and employers over the years, a practice that watchdogs criticize as rife with potential conflicts of interest.

Getty Images FAMILY: Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s son, Hunter Biden, was at a campaign stop with his father in December. The candidate’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, is his longtime campaign manager.

The money largely flowed from the coffers of Mr. Biden’s failed presidential campaign during the past two years to a company that employs his sister and longtime campaign manager, Valerie Biden Owens, according to campaign disclosure filings.

The senator from Delaware also directed campaign legal work to a Washington lobbying and law firm founded by his son R. Hunter Biden, the disclosures show.

Putting family members and their companies on the political payroll is legal if the work is legitimate and charged at market rates, according to the Federal Election Commission. Still, public watchdog groups have long criticized such arrangements.

  1. Socialist is too mild of a word to describe the Marxist Obama. Obama has already implemented his first Marxist act, that being Obama’s US Senate bill S2433 that Obama is currently sponsoring in the US Senate. Obama’s S2433 is a global MARXIST WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION scheme. The tax money that is squeezed out of us by Obama’s S2433 will add an “ADDITIONAL” 845 Billion in taxes on an already over taxed America and Obama’s S2433 will consume seven percent of our GNP. The money from Obama’s S2433 will be given to the corrupt United Nations, specifically for “The UN Global Poverty Act”. Your money will then be REDISTRIBUTED to despicable third world dictators. This is factual and can be verified, just Google “Obama’s S2433″ and read for yourself how Obama is working to REDISTRIBUTE your hard earned money to the tyrants of the world. Obama has also vowed to eliminate the reduction on the death inheritance tax that President Bush implemented so he can get his sticky hands on most of your inheritance money. Know who to curse when your love ones leave you something and Obama’s Marxist government takes most of it from you and REDISTRIBUTES it to the lazy, unproductive losers of the USA and the world. Obama has also vowed to double the Capital Gains Tax so if you bought a second house to cash in on for your retirement, you can expect your property investment return to be cut in half at the very least so kiss your retirement goodbye. These acts and Obama’s S2433 are only some Comrade Obama’s planned take from and give away programs with many more coming if he gets into office. There is NO way that Obama can implement all his Marxist’s plans without taxing Joe Average to death, forget about the rich. There is a bottom to every well and the rich aren’t rich enough to fund all the massive Marxist CHANGE that the Messiah has in the closet. That is Obama’s economic plan, vote for John McCain and keep your money.
