        nah you're a liberal.

        it was him saying increasing taxes on the wealthy wouldn’t fundamentally change their lives

        Yeah that's the problem. And the innuendo of his statement is clearly that their power will not change. Not that their wealth wouldn't change. AKA they'll still be on top and poor people will still be serfs.

            No it's just what he implied in his soundbite. Imagine being a rich person in that room hearing Biden say "and nothing would fundamentally change" and think he's literally only talking about a number in your bank account and that he means everything else will fundamentally change. He was at some donor event probably full of rich ghouls. Your liberalism is on full display amigo.

            Here's context:

            "Biden told donors at an event at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan on Tuesday evening that he would not “demonize” the rich and promised that “no one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change,”" - Salon.com.

            He literally says no one's standard of living will change.

        No, I don't feel. Especially since because "you took me out of context" is a rightist youtube trick.

        What context? The context was a bourgeois politician standing in front of a room full of donors reassuring them that he's got their back. That's obvious to everyone, including the wealthy donors he was reassuring.
