Alexandria Cortez wants a raise from $174,000 to $178,900, as a cost of living increase.
I thought she was crazy considering all her stupid rants. But I wondered how a person like her, a former bartender who was paid the minimum wage or your normal tip salary for the area, was able to command such a salary.
In another example, Joe Biden was not born to wealth and his time as a public servant kept his net worth low. In 2014, when he was vice president, his net worth was estimated between $39,000 and $800,000.
But now Joe Biden has started his campaign for President of the United States, 2020. He caught my attention as a possible candidate who might be worthy of my vote. After all, he has adopted a slogan that represents me; ----“Middle Class Joe”
Middle Class Joe; what exactly does that mean? If you do a little digging you will understand what Middle Class Joe means; For a Politician!
Joe Biden knew what he was doing when he got into Politics.
“Joe and his Jill Biden lived on his vice president's salary - at $230,700 a year – Plus her pay from teaching English at a Northern Virginia community college.”
Biden makes $200,000 a pop for every speech he gives.
“The Washington Post cited 65 instances in which Biden gave a speech or appeared at a book event, noting that in 10 instances of them he did not take a fee but did have his travel paid for.
“He and Jill signed a three book deal worth $8 million in April 2017.”
Joe and his wife Jill purchased a $2.7 million, 4,800-square-foot vacation house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., in 2017.
“Vacation House”
The same can be said about the Obama’s and the Clintons and every head of State or ruler of a country or leaders of a religious organization.
Now it’s become obvious that if you want to make good money with as little effort as possible, then learn the art of being charismatic and know how to bullshit people. If you can learn to do that, then enter the field of; “Politics” and promise people everything you can possibly think of.
Vote for me and I PROMISE; Steady work, better health care, better housing, free education, and the American Dream will be yours.
If you’re real good at bullshitting then you can even promise a segment of society a paradise earth, no disease, no crime, and no more dying.
If you can or won’t get into politics, then learn the art of spotting a bull-shitter. It might save you a lot of headaches and you won’t be taken for a ride to nowhere.
