Wingless Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 I didn't look deep enough into the schedules to see whether or not any of that business income was supplemental to his income as president, but that's a nice paycheck right there. Here's Biden's: http://media.mcclatchydc.com/smedia/2009/04/15/17/talev-2009-Biden-1040.source.prod_affiliate.91.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love Lamp Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 So, are you all saying you want a poor guy who can't manage money to be running the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 So, are you all saying you want a poor guy who can't manage money to be running the US? I wouldn't say that. An honest politician, maybe, but I know that's never going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negative Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Would be nice to have a piece of that change. Mr socialism better hand out some of his own fat paycheck there before dishing out my shitty one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 At least he pays taxes on that. Allegedly. I think a little honesty would be refreshing. It works fairly well as a business model, but I suppose it's a little underwhelming to hear the handful of things that can actually make it through legislation in 4 years. It's a shame Obama is the closes thing to transparency we've had in a good long while. Even if there is a pretty good chance that the transparency isn't really that transparent.

PitBull. Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 cant this be fake anyhow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 cant this be fake anyhow? Yes and no. I'm not sure if it's the "official gov't copy", but his tax return is a public document. It has to be available to the public. Not to mention the fact that I know what software White house staff uses to prepare their returns.

vandium Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Yes and no. I'm not sure if it's the "official gov't copy", but his tax return is a public document. It has to be available to the public. Not to mention the fact that I know what software White house staff uses to prepare their returns. Umm, he took the family to H&R Block. It is not a secret. And as for Lamp, no I don't want that kind of president. I want a president that will spend money on underground drilling, so that we can drill to the middle east and steal the oil from under the ground. The gases that are going to come from the melted permafrost will put more crap in the atmosphere than our oil burning does. GET THE OIL!

DarkHelmet Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Makes me wonder how many donations and "GIFTS" Supreme Over Lord Obama and his wife never claimed! Because God knows he's going to pass Bush in spending and debt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Lethal Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Which is exactly why Bob Barr should have won! Nevertheless, I see nothing Obama doing that is wrong. He pays 900,000 in taxes WTF!!! And anyways any good economist knows the only way out of a recession is to increase spending to increase our real aggregate output/GDP. Yes, debts come along with it, but it's going to be the reason we're out of a recession in a year or less, not muddling around and cutting our deficit NOW. Anyways we're not in the classical range of the Keynesian model so we can keep increasing the real GDP without raising the price level - only because we're not at full employment. Didn't vote past election but I like what he's doing. Or at least he knows how to hire smart people. Win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
