"Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, took in $26,400 in 2012 by renting a cottage on the property of their Delaware home to the Secret Service, tax records released by the White House revealed."
This news has been eating at me since I first heard it. Remember that the Secret Service is paid by the taxpayer to protect the Biden's. They are their government supplied bodyguards, and in this dangerous world, their presence is certainly needed.
However, the problem I have with this is that the Biden's used this protection to pick the pocket of the American taxpayer. They profited personally at the expense of every working man and woman in the nation.
Let's stipulate, for the purposes of this post, that billing the Secret Service for a cottage they needed to do their job of protecting them was entirely legal. No crime committed.
However, just because something isn't illegal, doesn't mean that it should be done. There is the larger moral question here, which I believe sheds a much clearer light on the Biden's and how they look at their jobs in government.
Given that the taxpayer is the one footing the bill here, from people who don't get free professional government protection right there on their property, 24/7, why should the Biden's charge the taxpayer anything at all to have the Secret Service stay on their property?
Government employees like to characterize themselves as "public servants," and those who ask for and are elected to office hold their positions as the representatives of the people at an even higher moral plane.
They are working for the people.
However, this incident shows that the Biden's see their government jobs as an opportunity to loot the treasury, to charge the government a fee that is as much as many people work all year to make. Why? Why didn't the Biden's simply let the Secret Service use their cottage to protect them for free while Slow Joe was acting as Vice President? They certainly make enough money from other sources.
Because they could handsomely profit, for little to no risk. Damn the taxpayers, they are just the sheeple who should know that they work every day to support the sort of parasite that Joe Biden really is.
If he cared about the people he supposedly represents, he would know it would be wrong, morally, to make them pay so much in addition to providing the professional protection he needs.
From this, we can learn an amazing amount about Joe Biden and what he thinks deep in his soul. He could care less about his people. He could care less about his country. He simply saw a chance to profit personally, and he took it.
They say Slow Joe has always been a jerk. This little story proves it.
No words.
