You Tell Me: Does This Belong in 'Ethics'?

[Dragon]

No, I have backed my belief up with evidence, the Bible.

That's not evidence.

God's word, more true than anything false info you make up.

Your word that it is God's word is not evidence, either.

"Biden Earned $21,000 Last Year From the Secret Service

Vice President Joe Biden last year earned $20,900 in rental income from the Secret Service, which is paying him to host agents on his property so they can protect him.

Most high-profile people in need of protection pay people to keep them safe. Government officials are allowed to have taxpayers pick up the tab. Biden is unique in that he actually gets paid by his bodyguards for the right to protect him.

Of course, the Bidens badly need the money. They only had an adjusted gross income of $379,035 last year. This probably also explains why they gave less than 1.5 percent of their income to charity."

These folks don't believe in giving to charity, their Secretary of Treasury doesn't pay his taxes, now this guy charges the taxpayer for a detail assigned to protect him.....


What is the word...? "Chutzpah"?


Did you see his income? Did you know that makes him one of the dreadful "1%"?


I can't wait for November.....

Hello, Santorum makes three times what Binden makes and pays the same amount to charity. Less than 2%. Worse, Republicans feel poor Americans should go to churches if they need health care. That or "let him die".

Do any of the ex presidents get money from the SS for staying on their property?

President Bush will receive an annual pension of $196,700, adjustable for cost-of-living increases.

That $21,000 could've been used to give the CEO of a recently bankrupted green company a fancy lunch or high end back rub, come on be responsible!
