We Must Pay for the Privilege to Protect Biden...Refund, Please.

If we could cut this $66,000, that would be $66,000 less that we'd "have to" raise the debt ceiling to prevent the apocalypse.

Apparently, Vice President Joe Biden is raking in rent money for a cottage near his water-front home.  This would be a wonderful example of the free market in action, except for the fact the renter is the secret service, tasked to protect their landlord.

Biden doesn't have to pay for the secret service protection--that just comes with the job.  So, how can he profit from this arrangement?

If for some reason a regular person were to be offered free round-the-clock protection by some protection firm, wouldn't that beneficiary be the scum of the Earth if then he charged the protectors rent for the cottage next door?

That Smile Doesn't Pay for Itself...

Where's your sense of patriotism now, Joe?

In 2008, then-candidate Biden had an exchange regarding upper-middle-class job creators paying for taxes:

Biden was asked by ABC News' Kate Snow in an interview aired Thursday morning on "Good Morning America" if people earning more than $250,000 a year would have to pay more taxes under an Obama-Biden administration.

"You got it," Biden replied. "It's time to be patriotic, Kate. Time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help America out of the rut, and the way to do that is they're still gonna pay less taxes than they did under Reagan."

Not only was this the latest attempt to invoke Reagan conservative as a way to make the (soon-to-be) most radical, leftist administration ever seem palatable, but it also is a clear expression of their ideology. 

Perceived rich people should pay excessive taxes to the government so they can redistribute the wealth, instead of allowing the job creators to create jobs, stimulate the economy, grow American entrepreneurial pride and to allow all Americans (the most generous people on the planet) to give freely to the charities and groups they choose to. 

Why can't Biden live up to his own words and give of himself--especially since he's a civil servant, and a wealthy one at that.  We're in such a horrible financial situation as a nation and he doesn't see he's part of the problem.  He clearly has no sense of honor, or duty.

When Biden's now-deceased mother lived in the cottage, they didn't charge her rent (they claimed no income from the property in 2009).  Since his mother got a deal, I think Uncle Sam should get the family rate too.
