Former Vice President Joe Biden, now running for president, told a gathering of ministers and community activists on Monday that the American public is ready for institutional change, and he indicated that he'll raise taxes to accomplish that, if elected:
Biden said it's "pure selfishness" to object to higher taxes that would help pay for programs benefiting the black community.
"What we have to do is put people in a position they can compete economically," Biden told the Interdenominational Ministers Action Council at Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware:
The point is -- I think the ultimate answer for every other group has been access to--access to economic opportunity. Access to economic power. What is the future? What is the future? The future is you've got to get out of bed and think I can make it. I can do something. The deck's not completely stacked.
There's a lot of things I'm confident the public is ready to do. And guess what? Those of you that know me, you know me well. When I was pushing a lot of these issues before, I didn't just go to black community and talk to them. I went to green room and I--and talked to the business--no, I'm serious. Because here's the deal, we don't spend enough time doing this, guys like me.

Hey China/Ukraine Joe you can go to blazes. No one wants your communist garbage . As to higher taxes go suck an egg.
Someone ask uncle Joe if he has considered donating his retirement to the US Treasury... if he is so concerned about funding socialism... donate your retirement salary to such a cause.
