The Biden's release 10 years of tax returns...and what did they find?

[jillan]

Nothing. :P

The Obama campaign released 10 years of Biden's tax returns, and the returns are, well, humdrum. Biden has boasted on the campaign trail about being one of the poorest U.S. Senators, and his returns show modest wages--compared to some of the well-heeled titans on the Hill.

1. You can't ask for her tax returns

That would be sexist!

Hell if I know how that would be sexist, but I'm sure they'll find a way to spin it. :eyes:

2. Doesn't she need to release them?

I'm sure she will throw a hissy fit about having to do it.

4. Got me curious

Not sure if she has to release them or not. This if from a couple hour old Yahoo News article:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080912/ap_on_el_pr/biden_finances
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden and his wife on Friday released a decade of their personal financial records, showing a veteran U.S. senator who earned less than many of his congressional colleagues.

The Bidens' move is designed to pressure Republican vice presidential pick Sarah Palin to release her financial records. An aide to GOP presidential nominee John McCain said the campaign would release the documents but gave no indication when that would happen.

The day before the general election is probably a good choice. No time for anyone to go through them then. :eyes:

5. I read somewhere that the Palins have a worth of about $10 mil. I never heard

more about it, so have no idea of whether or not it was true. I'd sure like to find out, though.

11. She is a Heath.... As I understand it.. of Heath candy bars (I could be wrong)

[gateley]

14. I think that's been disproved. She's not an heiress like Cindy is. nt

7. I heard two women talking today

and they were singing the praises of Sarah Palin. One told the other that Obama and Biden give practically nothing to charity and McCain gives something like 20%. The figure of 3% for Biden was mentioned.

I couldn't say anything as I was at work at the time. Anyone able to check? It sounds ridiculous and I'm sure it is.

It's really, really hard to keep one's mouth shut at times.

10. 3% to charity is just fine IMO

That's about what I try to give.

12. The Obama's only recently paid off their college loans

While McCain has a wife worth $100 million to support him. The 20% is probably relative to only his salary, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the money she makes.

13. John, Cindy, Sarah? Hello? 10 years? nt

15. Biden: "Welp."
