Dems asking the rich to give away more of their money

[trev]

So, why doesn't Biden let the Secret Service live here rent free and save the taxpayers some money?
After all, they are protecting HIM. Hyporcrite much?

The U.S. Secret Service does more than protect Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — the agency also pays him rent.

Since April, Mr. Biden has collected more than $13,000 from the agency charged with protecting him and his family, for use of a rental cottage adjacent to the waterfront home he owns in a Wilmington, Del., neighborhood.

Mr. Biden, listed not as vice president in federal purchasing documents but as “vendor,” is eligible for up to $66,000 by the time the government contract expires in the fall of 2013, the records show.

Officials say the arrangement came about when a previous tenant moved out of the cottage and the Secret Service moved in.

Edwin M. Donovan, special agent in charge at the Secret Service's Office of Government and Public Affairs in Washington, said the agency pays $2,200 in rent per-month, the same amount a previous tenant had paid before moving out.

He said the close location provides a level of security for the Biden family the agency might not have had otherwise. Asked if the Secret Service typically pays rent to the people it protects, he said, “It’s a rental property so we pay rent there.”

Taxpayer watchdogs say the Secret Service should do everything it can to protect Mr. Biden, but they wonder whether he should be collecting rent from the agency while it’s doing its job.

“He should be afforded every single protection available to him and his family, as should every vice president and president,” said Leslie Paige, spokeswoman for the Washington-based Citizens Against Government Waste.

“But this arrangement seems bizarre to me,” she added. “You’d think the vice president, who shepherded the deficit committee, would think twice about charging the Secret Service rent. Why would he need the money? I don’t get it.”

trev, is saying that we should abolish all private property and remake our society on a socialist model with equality and co-operation for all.

Try and follow along, dumbfucks.

Only Trev could possibly think that a person should be forced to forfeit rental income to the tune of $211,200 over 8 years in order to fulfill SS requirements for security.

Yes, he's great at sucking the dems balls whilst they stick a large stick up his ass. It's not pretty, is it?

He should forfeit the rent. For the good of the country. He's rich. Redistribute that wealth. Isn't that what he asks others to do? That's a lot of jack he's milking from the govt also. Not very cool of him.

I think the word is "chutzpah."

It's prefectly acceptable for the Secret Service to pay for improvements to properties belonging to their protectees....but paying rent? That's over the line.

Or maybe Biden could just live in the VP's traditional quarters on the grounds of the US Naval Observatory and not triple bill the taxpayers for his own security. It's not a bad place. I'm sure he could slum it there for a few years.

Or maybe Biden could just live in the VP's traditional quarters on the grounds of the US Naval Observatory and not double bill the taxpayers for his own security.

Yea, because Presidents and VPs haven't been living in secondary residences since SS protection was first offered.

not sure what previous VPs have done for quarters and I don't give a fukk. they are provided with a very nice pad. if they chose to live elsewhere, it (including security arrangements) should be on their dime. EOS.

the "wahhhhhhh, the last guy did it" excuse is getting old. the gubmint needs to do some serious belt tightening and it needs to begin at the top. i realize the actual savings of such measures are pretty slight, but these fukks need to set an example. would also like to see camp david sold off. we're fukking broke. when you are broke you have to sell your toys.

Have they? I'm not sure what that has to do with the fact that the taxpayers pay the bill for upkeep and maintenance on the residence whether or not the VP live there. It's not a rental property, so there wouldn't be any double billing.

Bottom line here is that you are totally full of shit.
