So this is the new packaging for Biden?

Establishment Joe is now Middle-Class Joe

Middle-class Joe' Biden Tells Davos Bosses to Look After Workers

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 20 (Reuters) – U.S. Vice President Joe Biden criticized modern corporate “short-termism” on Wednesday and urged chief executives gathered in Davos to look after their workers as well as their shareholders.

Relishing his nickname of “middle-class Joe,” he told delegates at the World Economic Forum annual meeting that the middle classes, the backbone of economies and democracies, now faced unprecedented threats from technological change.

He's like Clinton telling them to cut that out.

If they foist Biden on us, say hello to President Trump.

1. Uh huh

Biden’s net worth ranges from $39,000 to $800,000, ABC News reported. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he’s worth $600,00, and TheRichest.com puts his net worth at a similar range of about $500,000. Just as a comparison, President Barack Obama’s net worth has been estimated to be between $3 million and $8 million, ABC News reported.



Hillary Clinton’s net worth is $31.3 million. Our Hillary Clinton net worth number comes from analyzing her 2015 U.S. Public Financial Disclosure Reports. Bill Clinton has an estimated net worth of $80 million. That gives a combined Bill and Hillary Clinton net worth of $111 million dollars.

3. Biden who SO LOVES the working class was right there with Obama on the TPP

They really think people are stupid. Obviously Biden LOVES power.

6. Every

Politician in America except a handful has been for globalisation since the 1970s.

It's obviously a complex issue and one that has screwed over the working class immeasurably... But it's also pretty inevitable.

There's literally no strata of the US political class that's anti-globalisation; singling one random politician out is pretty disingenuous. IMO.

And.

Think of the last politician that got as far as he did and didn't trade it in for millions and millions. There very few. Think of the last vice president that didn't run for president. Also pretty rare..

I MUCH prefer Sanders to Biden, but much prefer Biden to many others. Including Hillary.

7. It's not complex at all. The corporations write it and it benefits the Corporations and 1%

not the people.

Using emotional appeals to try to get people to overlook the selling out of the American worker. Well - good luck with that.

8. It is complex

Globalisation not the TPP.

You'd hardly find someone more quick to blame corruption on corporations than me. But. TPP is just the most recent example of decades of trade policy that's all pretty much been trending one way.

And now, those jobs and wages won't be coming back.

Our economy has radically changed. And frankly it's only going to get a hell of a lot worse before it gets any better.

I'm not some huge Biden fan. I rarely think about the guy and don't think he'd make a great president. But. Look at everyone else running. Clinton has a lobbyist for Saudi Arabia and Weapons Manufacturers as her campaign chairman. Ted Cruz has the ex head of the CIA as his campaign manager. And gets funded by Goldman Sachs. Trump is Trump.

Of all of the other people Biden is much less offensive to me.

You don't have to agree with me, but you're highly unlikely to change my mind.

10. It's going to get a hell of a lot worse for the people not for the 1%

I think "Globalization is complex" is used to justify selling out. Globalization has not been good for the people or the planet. But looking down the road when this was pushed, a lot of people could see where it was headed.

We are letting world-wide corporations take the place of governments. Instead of learning from our mistakes we'll just enter into a bad trade agreement on steroids? That makes NO sense unless you are just willing to sell out and go along.

We'll pass something and make the American people believe they've finally made progress only to later realize they were sold out in a trade agreement or the bill passed was the opposite of what it was titled. What a system to be proud of.

11. Uncle Joe from Scranton who charges the Secret Service rent

to live in the extra place at his home and protect him. Classy, no?

2. After the Bankruptcy Reform Act, MBNA Joe is more like it.

4. Looks like they're asking Biden to come out and help Hilary a bit.

[Skwmom]

5. If he wants to replace her he's got to toe that line. So much for getting money

out of politics.

9. Joe's pro-bank bankruptcy bill told me what I needed to know about him.

As a political figure anyway. He's a decent guy but having him step in for a crippled Hillary isn't going to cut it.

This is Bernie's year.
