A Moment With Joe Biden: Paying the Bills

[by Son of Bob]

And now, a moment with Joe Biden…

BIDEN: …ya know, I met a man in Columbus, Ohio name Tom Gifford. And, Tom’s been out of work for almost four years now. Four years! And, he’s fallen off unemployment, doesn’t know how he’s going to pay any of his bills… or feed his kids. And God bless him, he came up to me with tears in his eyes… tears in his eyes… and he said, “Joe, I’m countin’ on ya buddy. I’m countin’ on you and Barack to turn things around. And there’s only one way to do that. There’s only one way that I can pay my bills. Joe, you need to increase the tax rate to 60 percent on those Americans in the top one percent. If you do that, I’ll be able to get a job, pay my bills, feed my kids… Joe, buddy, I’m counting on ya.” And, I’ll tell you today what I told him that day. I won’t let you down, Tom. Barack Obama won’t let you down. We’ll increase the tax rate on those fat cats so that you can pay your bills…

This has been a moment with Joe Biden.

  1. “I like both SoB’s and Carolyn’s.” I much prefer Bailey’s.
    As for Biden continually referring to Ryan as “my friend”, I wish Ryan had replied with a line from Zorro – The Gay Blade: “To be your friend, I’d not only have to be careless, I’d have to be estupid!”
