Re: Let the truth be known
Joe and his wife Jill Biden funneled millions in income through a pair of S corporations they set up in Delaware as a way to circumnavigate paying Social Security and Medicare taxes, according to an August opinion article in The Wall Street Journal.
Of the nearly $13.3 million the couple took in primarily through speaking fees and book royalties during the 2017 and 2018 tax years, they claimed just $750,000 in income.
The other 94 percent of the money passed through the corporations as a direct distribution to the Bidens, preventing it from being subject to the 15.3 percent combined Social Security and Medicare tax rate, according to CNBCreasonable compensationComment

Biden paid nearly $300,000 in federal income taxes in 2019
Biden on Tuesday released his 2019 tax returns, which show he and his wife, Jill, paid nearly $300,000 in federal income tax last year and had an adjusted gross income of about $985,000.
Biden's release of his 2019 tax returns come hours before the first presidential debate and two days after The New York Times reported that President Donald Trump paid no federal income taxes whatsoever in 10 out of 15 years beginning in 2000. Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017, the Times reported. Trump has not released his tax returns to the public.Comment

Re: Let the truth be known
Only the Trump Administration
Clearwater doctors got a PPP loan, then dissolved their practice after giving out $50k in bonuses
In February, a group of doctors in Clearwater decided to cut a partner from their successful practice by legally dissolving and reforming under a new name.
Shortly thereafter, they applied for a PPP loan worth $222,700 and spent it all on the old company, including $50,000 on bonuses.
The old company dissolved on May 31, as planned, but otherwise, not much has changed — they're still operating with the same staff in the same building, just under a new legal name.
The ousted doctor, who is suing his former partners — and whose name is on the PPP loan — is concerned that this is not how the government meant to spend its money.Comment

Re: Let the truth be known
Only $222,700? That is nothing compared to Solyndra Inc., Beacon Power and Ener1 received from the Obama administration before going belly up.
Solyndra a California based solar panel manufacturer received a $528 million federal loan.
Beacon Power a Massachusetts energy-storage firm received a $43 million loan guarantee.
Ener1 a New York-based parent company of an electric car battery maker that received a $118 million grant.
That makes for a total of at least $689 million out of the pockets of American tax payers. The federal government also lost the interest revenue from Solyndra and the interest they ended up having to pay on the loan guarantee given to Beacon.

Re: Let the truth be known
Hmmmmmmm NOPEBiden Says Arabic Word Frequently Used by Muslims During Debate
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden used the Arabic word “inshallah” during a discussion on President Donald Trump’s tax returns at the first presidential debate Tuesday night.
Moderator Chris Wallace had asked Trump about a recent article from The New York Times that said the Republican president paid only $750 in federal income taxes per year in 2016 and 2017.
“I’ve paid millions of dollars, and you’ll get to see it,” Trump replied.
“When?” Biden asked. “Inshallah?”
Biden’s campaign confirmed to NPR that the former vice president had used the Arabic word that means “Allah willing” or “if Allah wills it.”
He must have learned that word while in the Obama Admin.
The word is often used sarcastically by Muslims to express doubt that someone will do something that they claim they plan to do.
Some American Muslims and others praised Biden on social media for his inclusivity.
A BuzzFeed News immigration reporter called it “a historic moment in America.”
Other people were not impressed.
One commentator even called Biden’s use of the word “colonial and derogatory.”

@TamerELG
Biden’s use of inshallah was kinda colonial and derogatory if you ask me.
Fadi Helani, a linguistics professor at Montclair State University, told The Washington Post that the phrase seemed too sophisticated for someone who doesn’t speak the language to use in a presidential debate.
“Inshallah” is used to expressed hope for the desired outcome in formal Arabic, including in media interviews and news conferences, according to Helani.
When it is used in informal conversation, the word can be used sarcastically “to mean that the hope or statement is too good to be true,” The Post reported.
“If somebody says talks about passing a test, and you say, ‘inshallah,’ that means you’re hoping they pass,” Helani said.
“But if somebody says that, and you know they’re a lazy student, ‘inshallah’ means you don’t believe them at all.”
Helani said that Biden’s use of the word was sarcastically “casting doubt” on Trump’s claim he would release the tax returns.
Why the HELL would Biden use that term correctly? Is he in bed with Muslim's? Has he converted to Islam like a lot of the Obama Admin had? Is this what we want in a POTUS? He's in bed with Russian/Ukraine/China.. now Iran also? Make one go Hmmmmm
PRESIDENT BIDEN has a nice ring to it.
