The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“Joe Biden says things, and then there’s reality”
Snip
“Joe Biden is out in Pennsylvania saying that Trump got rich the old-fashioned way: he inherited it. At least that is an honest way to get rich. Trump inherited money, and he took a massive amount of risk and created a huge number of jobs.

Biden, on the other hand, got rich the same way a lot of politicians get rich. He used his powerful position in government and took his son around the world on government-paid transportation, collecting kickbacks from a number of adversaries, including Russia, Ukraine, and China. The only thing the Biden family had to sell was access to Joe. They did not take risks. They did not develop anything. They did not have a service or product to sell. They did not create jobs. They created shell companies to launder the money through. That is not an honest way to get rich, but a lot of corrupt politicians have achieved wealth the same way.

Biden also claims that Trump doesn't pay taxes. He pays a huge amount of taxes — whether it is real estate taxes, payroll taxes, or income taxes when the tax code shows he owes them.

That is unlike Hunter, who sometimes didn't file tax returns when he didn't feel like it and didn't worry about following the tax code. And it certainly appears that there were payments to Joe that were classified as loans with no documents to show they were loans. That means they were income. It also appears that Hunter paid a significant amount of Daddy's bills, which would also be a taxable event.”

To quote: ”No platform, no policies, no slogans, no endorsements, nobody cheering for himself but himself.”

Biden’s campaign is a total mess. He talks endlessly about nonsense, “my uncle probably was eaten by cannibals”, tries to mimic Trump going into a fast food restaurant where no one hardly pays attention to him, lol...Biden s a loser.
