President Joe Biden delivered his first Oval Office address as president from behind the Resolute Desk to hold up a deal to avoid defaulting on the nation's debt as a substantial bipartisan achievement.
'We averted an economic crisis – an economic collapse,' Biden told the nation Friday night.
'Passing this budget agreement was critical,' Biden said, speaking in a low voice during the prime time broadcast. 'The stakes could not have been higher. If they had failed to reach an agreement on the budget, there were extreme voices threatening to take America for the first time in our 247 year history, in a default on our national debt.'

Speaking of Taxes and 'Paying their Fair Share':
Does anyone know if the Biden Crime Family (BCM) paid Federal and State Income Taxes on the $5 Million$ or so that they received (graft and payoffs) from the various foreign governments (Russia, China, Ukraine, Moldavia) who paid them for access and 'favorable policy outcomes'?
Just wondering.

Had to sit down to deliver his "address", eh?
Looks weirder than usual. As divisive as ever with that nasty, sharp, abrasive edge. Dysfunctional person.

This senile POS makes zero sense. What evidence does he have of material cheating by the rich?? If they follow the law and arrange their affairs to take advantage of tax preferences etc that is NOT CHEATING. As to ‘loopholes’ the carried interest special preference which is geared to wealthy hedgies has been a policy advocated by BOTH PARTIES. I’m ok with changing it- but don’t make that out to be. D vs R thong cause it’s not. The Dems positively do hate retirement plans set up for self employment lites as well as 401k plans because they are outside the control of unions and allow average folks or self employed to save for retirement preferentially. He may want to eliminate it but the R’s will not let that happen. The first cheats i would like investigated include Brandon and family. Think they reported all the graft?? I doubt it. If we lived in a fair society they would all be behind bars by now. One can dream….

#2, Hunter obviously did not pay. His CA lawyer "friend" ponied up $2 mil to clear and unreported income issue with the IRS. Also, that is why Biden's Dem lackeys at DOJ are trying to kill the investigation, per the IRS whistleblower. My guess is that the look into Hunter's taxes led down trails to other Biden family members. If they put it on their taxes, it was disguised as book royalties to some LLC that was reduced down to a couple of lines, buried on a back schedule of the 1040.

Biden acts like he has been working with McCarthy all along to get a deal that would pass both houses of Congress. What a joke! He wouldn't get in touch with McCarthy for 90+ days. The Dems didn't believe McCarthy could get a Bill through the House and Biden would be able to use his authority to just raise the debt ceiling without any concessions if he waited it out. It wasn't until the House did pass a Bill that Biden was forced to come to the table. I think McCarthy had to concede too much to get bi-partisan support but there was no other way that a Bill could be passed before defaulting so that's the best he could do.

I'm all about fairness in taxation. The only fair tax is a voluntary one. When you take someone's money under threat of prion or confiscation of their property, thats extortion. As we have found out over the last 50 years, just because something is legal doesn't mean its right.

Yes, I'd really like us to default. They they'd have a lot of trouble getting anyone to buy their bonds, and may be forced to live on tax revenues.

# 6 - the old fool probably thinks he did work with McCarthy. He has no idea where he is or where he has been or what he's said.

Biden has no credibility whatsoever! It doesn’t matter what the old fool says or thinks! His handlers are running the country and giving him his words and opinions!

What he is talking about is increasing taxes on the middleclass and those with savings.

There is not enough revenue. The more they take, the less there will be. The less they redistribute, the more there will be for everyone. But they know that. Typical authoritarian tyrants, if they control everything then everything will be great. They just need to "remove" those pesky dissidents and rebels, then their final solution can be implemented.

Biden is always after the ”rich” to pay their fair share. He should start by getting his rotten and corrupt family to pay the taxes on all that money that flowed through the LLC’s to THEM! Hunter doesn’t even pay his taxes…his Hollywood lawyer pal paid his tax bill. I’d love to know what kind of lucrative deals have been going his way.
