President Joe Biden attacked former President Donald Trump’s “inherited” wealth on April 19 as he continued his campaign for the votes of “American workers.”
“Some folks learn very different lessons growing up than you and I did,” the president told attendees at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) conference in Washington, adding that “they” and his opponent, President Trump, learned that the best way to get rich is to inherit it.
“They learned that paying taxes is for working people, not the super-wealthy,” President Biden said. “They learned that telling people ‘you’re fired’ is something to be laughed about. Not where I come from. Not where I was raised.
“I guess that’s how they look at the world on Park Avenue and Mar-a-Lago.”
The president attempted to connect with his audience, reiterating that he came from a “working-class” background, growing up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware.
“When I look at the economy, I don’t see through the eyes of Mar-a-Lago,” he said. “I literally see through the eyes of Scranton, where I grew up… I see it through the eyes of working people like you and the basic values that you represent: honesty, decency, hard work, faith.”
It was the middle class who built America, not Wall Street, the president said, and it was unions that built the middle class.
He criticized President Trump’s record, saying he failed to deliver on infrastructure promises, appointed “union-busters” to the National Labor Relations Board, opposed an increase to the federal minimum wage, and sought to repeal the climate law, which would “gut all those new jobs” created for projects like offshore wind farms.
President Biden also repeated his administration’s dedication to canceling student debt “despite the Supreme Court and our Republican friends trying to block us” and his disapproval of President Trump’s $2 trillion tax cuts, which he says “exploded” the national deficit and “overwhelmingly benefited” the wealthy and corporations.
“It’s going to expire, and if I’m reelected, it’s going to stay expired,” he said.
The president’s speech at the conference follows a three-day tour of Pennsylvania, during which he presented himself as “the most pro-union president” and shared his plans to impose higher taxes on higher-income earners, including a 25 percent federal income tax on billionaires.
Pennsylvania is expected to be a key battleground state in the coming election, and President Biden’s appeal to union workers and middle-class voters comes as recent polls show President Trump leading in most swing states.

Just scream Racist and give them Free Stuff, that always works for ya Comrade.
The VW plant in Chattanooga Tennessee just voted to go union. Every International car company that was taken over by Unions in America has now gone out of Business, or gone to Mexico.
“Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
(Yes, yes) Track 29!
Boy, you can give me a shine,
(Can you afford to board the Chattanooga Choo Choo?)
I got my fare
(And just a trifle to spare)
The German Automaker when left by Unions with not a trifle to spare will sing,,,
“So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say “Goodbye”, goodbye,
“I’m glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly”
More blessings from Joe and the Bidonomic Comics.
SO far at least.
“Scranton Joe” for the common man????? “Scranton Joe” is the head of the Biden crime family, he is a communist and he is an open borders traitor to our Country. Boy, that sure makes “Scranton Joe” for the common man, doesn’t it, Scranton Joe”???????? That certainly says a lot for the idiots that vote for criminal/ traitor/ communist “Scranton Joe”!!!!!!
2 Corinthians 11:14
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light,”,,,,, and a “Scranton Joe” during elections is transformed from a child of darkness into an imaginary choir boy who couldn’t tell the difference between a Common Man and a Communist if one sat on his face, or an acolyte who when attempting to light a church candle only succeeds on burning the building down, whose idea of being an alter boy is to alter the truth every opportunity he can to get elected.
So, what is more honest?? Inheriting your Trump wealth then multiplying it in more business wealth creation that creates jobs and livelihoods that can be taxed and shared to the benefit of others,,, or getting rich off 50 years of non-wealth creative wealth CONSUMING government service, redistributing wealth of others by creating NOTHING that was not TAKEN from those who created it. Franky we would be a much wealthier nation if we allowed our wealth creators to keep their money and create more shared wealth, and punish not them, but only those who bring nothing to the American table but an appetite. No political party bent on rewarding failure, fear and outright social theft is fit to lead a nation of strong independent SELF-governing people. With great power comes great responsibility, so why elect fools too lazy, corrupt, inept and IRRESPONSIBLE to be able to create enough to support themselves, and then expect them to properly handle your taxes, which represent the finite creative life forces that they infinitely waste. Shameless secular Socialist death by a thousand cuts,,,or taxes. How dare that poor excuse for and honest President attack self-governing wealth creating Americans, while dishonestly avoiding paying his own taxes on the undeclared Millions of dollars of laundered Chinese and Ukrainian filthy lucre he and his guilty co-conspoirator family members hide and do not report or pay taxes on himself?
AND how about those who EARN IT, because they WON various competitions, poker games (or roulette) or the lottery?
“Some folks learn very different lessons growing up than you and I did,”… “they” and his opponent, President Trump, learned that the best way to get rich is to inherit it.”
Joe learned that stealing and lying were the best way (and that”s no joke!) to get rich and that positive traits should be passed to your offspring.
Corrupt cultures are to be imported and supported with stolen taxpayer money to keep you in a position to manage your cash flow into the future.
Another good way to get rich is by poisoning your own citizenry and then selling an “antidote” that is worse than the illness.
I agree the rich should pay their fair share. But not an extra rich tax. The rich CEO s work a 100 hours or more. It’s not a 9-5 week off job. CEO s can’t take a day off to go shoe shopping. Stop hating on trump for making a billion dollars.
BUT WHAT Is their fair share, when already, the TOP 1% pay almost 50% of the taxes? IS THAT ALREADY THEM NOT Paying “their fair share”????
