If this is true, I'd expect voters to fancy a wealthy person being President. Am I right?

That would depend on how "The Big Guy" made his money. I don't recall either Biden being captains of industry or writing best selling books or doing really anything to justify making those millions.

As he made his tax information public it's not so hard to figure it out. It's book sales and speaches - might be due to his coherent sentences & thoughts.

if he made 15mil together with his wive - how many millions more did he make than the other president?

Well. If you take and adjust dollar amounts to today's rates?
George Washington comes in second to Yellow Man.
And Yellow Man tops the list.

Truman was the poorest one ever elected.
In fact? The salary was doubled in 1949 to help him out.

Biden, if you double his money? Still don't have close to Obama by a WIDE 3rd.

Book sales and speeches are great ways to launder money.

For you as a trump fan, this must be a plus.

But remember that the yellow man is so poor that he pays less taxes than YOU. (no matter who you are)

Here's what gets me.
A new President gets $100,000 to redecorate the White House.
To feel more at home.

Then:
Presidents and vice presidents, unlike other federal employees, are expressly permitted to receive any gift, for themselves or on behalf of any family members, as long as the gift is not solicited, coerced, or in exchange for an official act.

So............. I could GIFT them a million bucks at a whim. Not expecting anything of course!

This could get a person kicked off social media, uh?

Thank me, for what? Hate to say it but its kinda obvious you didn't read anything further than the headline. Because it doesn't really have anything to do with the electoral college, votes, Trump or Biden. It is about the observations and opinion of one person during the recent riots and what main stream media reports.

How much taxes one pays has less to do with ones wealth and far more to do with ones understanding of the tax laws. Laws that people like Biden wrote BTW. So unless you are suggesting that Trump committed tax fraud then my response to your ridiculous attempt to stoke class envy is good for him. Every dollar we don't have to feed to the Federal monster is a good thing.

At least I know how Trump made his money. What kind of back room shady deals did Joe Biden strike for his?

i read it all and was shocked at the truth he revealed vs CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS or even Fox who have bigger budgets to explore the truth.

I didn't watch it all, but I read it all and seeing how's I can no longer predict the future I will remain silent, but whoever is funding these groups is not finished with the battle for what we think.

I'm suggesting Trump commited tax fraud. He's either a good businessman that makes a lot of profit and should pay his share in taxes to support his community - and evaded that obligation, or he's at worrying losses and ... well, not so good at doing busine . and other fraud. and bribery, embezzlement. And that's just the things that are obvious.
He stole from you, the taxpayer and paid taxes in china (so much to understanding tax laws).

You mean inflating the value of property to obtain loans and then devaluing it when taxes are due?

I think that is the wrong word .. fraud.

You don't think Trump sits at the kitchen table with a calculator and a pencil and does his own taxes do you. Rich people get tax lawyers and accountants to do their taxes.

But if you know something call the IRS hot line.
