Joe Biden, another poor Democrat

I guess we can determine which Democrats are planning to run for president based on who is running to the podium to declare how poor they are.
With Hillary Clinton repeatedly injecting her family's net worth into the 2016 conversation (not necessarily to her benefit), Vice President Biden decided to share his own status at a White House event Monday. "Don't hold against me that I don't own — that I don't own a single stock or bond," Biden said. "Don't hold it — I have no savings accounts. But I got a great pension and I got a good salary."http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the ... n-wealthy/

So, being a dismal failure is "bragging" for a Democrat?

To a democrat, failure is proof that government is not doing enough.

This would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic.
Joe Biden is arguing that his efforts on behalf of the "little guy" is 100% self-interest, personally and politically. What a tool.

Biden does own a number of funds ( 11 per his 5/2014 disclosure each valued at $1K-15K) some that I'm confident do own stocks.

Why would anyone be surprised by a politician lying ?
Biden does have checking accounts and a savings account, per his disclosure.

It's the choice of things to lie about that's so bizarre.
