Hatred of paying taxes is clearly congenital in the Biden family.
Witness the latest news about another bad payer in this case Ashley, Joe Biden’s daughter.
Under a lien filed by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, Ashley Biden owes her state income taxes dating back to 2015. The delinquency extended into 2021, when his father became president.
It is true that the amount is paltry compared to the millions Hunter didn’t pay: Ashley “only” owes $5,000.
But for the daughter of a man who constantly grumbles about how the rich pay their fair share, the irony is palpable.
And it is more than disturbing to realize that she too simply feels as if the law didn’t apply to her, just like Hunter.
In fact, the relative smallness of the sum for someone linked to as much wealth and power as Ashley Biden suggests it’s not about the money.
Indeed, given how intertwined the Biden family’s finances are, they could probably pull out five thousand dollars from Biden Inc.’s petty cash.
No, for her, it is clearly the conviction that laws are for the little people.
She is a Biden; she does not have to take care of paying what she owes.
Like his big brother, when he nonchalantly defied a congressional subpoenaand instead he held a self-pitying press conference reeking of teenage histrionics.
Or when he crack apparently smoked while driving north of 170 mphendangering the lives of everyone else on the road.
Do not forget the “great” himself, who participated in conference calls and showed up at fancy dinners to help Hunter peddle the Biden “brand.”
Or how he used a bunch of classified documents and then hid them in his completely unsecured personal garageonly to act like it was no big deal when he got caught.
The Ashley Biden news makes it clear that for her family, the idea of public service means nothing more than endless service. self-service and mockery.
