Oops: Biden Admits Middle Class Has Been Buried ‘Over the Last Four Years’

Oct. 2, 2012 2:12pm Becket Adams

Vice President Joe Biden during a campaign stop in Charlotte, NC, on Tuesday said that the “middle class has been buried over the last four years.”

The remarks came after the vice president warned that a GOP victory in November would mean an increase in taxes for the middle class.

“This is deadly earnest, man. This is deadly earnest,” said Biden.

“How they can justify, how they can justify raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years? How in lord’s name can they justify raising their taxes with these tax cuts,” he added.

As you may already know, Vice President Biden and President Barack Obama have been in charge for the last four years. And, yes, the middle class has had a rough go of it.

“We agree, the middle class has been buried the past four years by Obama’s failed policies from higher taxes to more debt, which is why he doesn’t deserve another term in the White House to make it worse,” Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski told The Hill.

I really dont like all the Jew bashing…..and I dig where all the “why can’t we all get along” crowd is trying to go…..but although the Jew Bashers sometimes come across as haters and whatever else anyone would like to refer to them………are any of the persons or people referred to as jews by anyone on this thread not jews? For if they are indeed jewish…..at what point does coincidence or reality become salient and germane? I mean when was the last Chairman of the Fed a Methodist? Or a Black person who attended a Baptist church? let me know…..because I’m just askin’..

Does Biden suffer from Alzhiemers or dementia, or is he just a stupid son of a bitch?

I happen to agree with Joe. I have been buried for the last four years by his master’s tax and deficit spending policies. Even though he didn’t mean to say it, he spoke the truth. Sometimes more truth is spoken by idiots than learned persons.

Can someone share the logic with me on how tax rates for the middle class will go up with tax cuts?

Cutting taxes somehow raises taxes? I know left liberal idealogues have bad logic and reasoning skills, but this is completely la-la land.

Biden even sucks as a demagogue!

Hard to stir up a raging mob with lines like, “raising their taxes with these tax cuts.”

Just fails to rile up the primal instincts when you babble NONSENSE.

What a freeking IDIOT!!! And to think, this guy is one step away from being the President of the United States. He just said in essence that,because of Obama and the Democrap solialist policies he has put forth, the middle class has been buried for the last 4 years. Oh, this is gonna make a wonderfull Romney campaign commercial. I can hardly wait to see it. What a stupid Boob Biden is.

From the mouth of babes (that is, little babies not real babes)…….
Did anyone pay attention to the jaw lines of the folks behind Biden? Why so many clenched jaws? Was the crowed kept there against their will? What will we see if the camera was to pull back a tad?

Obama claims he cares about the middle class. With the kind of care the middle class has received fro Obama, they are better off without any help from him. Under the Obama administration, the middle class has been disappearing rapidly. Jobs have been disappearing and thousands of people who were middle class are now lower class living on welfare and food stamps. One little side effect from all this is that these thousands of people use to pay taxes to the government, social; security taxes, Medicare taxes, etc… Now they only use up the tax money. Obama has an agenda that wants to destroy the working middle class in this country. He has done everything he could to increase the number of people dependant on the government. Shutting down the oil rigs in the gulf. Refusing to allow the pipeline to be built. Anything that would create private industry jobs is ridiculed and shot down, while Obama has greatly increased the number of federal employees that only increase the national debt faster. Obama claims that things would be worse if the republicans were in power. The only thing that could make things worse would be another four years of the Obama economy wrecking administration.

You know when you lean back in a chair and have the chair leaning back on two legs; and suddenly you feel you have gone back too far and you almost fall backwards but somehow you caught your balance and went forward and set the chair down real hard. That feeling of panic….is how Biden feels all the time.
