1. President Joe Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden earned $619,976 in 2023, according to their joint tax return released by the White House on Monday – the deadline date for Americans to file their taxes.

   “President Biden believes that all occupants of the Oval Office should be open and honest with the American people,” the White House said in a statement on Monday, “and that the longstanding tradition of annually releasing presidential tax returns should continue unbroken.”

   That statement could be seen as a dig at former President Donald Trump, who declined to voluntarily release his tax returns while he was president. Six years of Trump’s tax returns, including from his time as president, were released to the public by the House Ways and Means Committee at the end of 2022.

2. Oh my gosh, so much. I am scandalized. It’s clear he’s corrupt. These are not at all like Donald’s crisp, clean tax returns which we saw in… um, well there was that one time he… but then, I mean there was an audit and uhh… stop asking!! Unfair! Collusion! LAAAWFURRRR!!

3. Slightly more than a half million dollars? The crowd that worships a pretend billionaire will of course pretend to be outraged by this.

4. So it’s basically Joe’s presidential salary, Jill’s teacher salary, pension, and social security.

5. Are Donnie’s out of audit yet?

6. If they’ve been putting some aside, they might be able to afford their own house by now.

7. In this day and age…that isn’t even that much, and *certainly* less than what I would expect of the typical presidential family. 

8. Dang, not even a million to run the free world?

9. But Burisma and Ukraine (sarcasm)

10. paid about $142,000 of that in taxes.

11. For years Biden was the poorest person in the Senate. It is not surprising at all that even as the President he is not cashing out obscene amounts of money like so many others.

12. Honestly? This amount of money feels so paltry for a man of his position. Yeah, it’s a lot, it’s a hell of a lot more than I’m gonna see, but I you know only the media and fox news (They’re not real news media) would take this and try to put a negative spin on it. “LOOK HOW MUCH/LITTLE HE MAKES!”

    Like, if you wanna compare it to Trump’s millions, this really just puts Trump out of touch with the common man more than Biden.

13. My neighbor in the single-wide was chiding me about how little the Biden’s made this past year earlier when I took the dogs for a walk. He has another fresh rooftop bag.

14. The only surprise there is it wasn’t more.

    President salary is something like $400k and then you’ve got the First Lady’s income. But I’m surprised they don’t have more/other sources of kind of passive income (rental properties, book sales, etc.) pushing them up past a million.

    It’s really wacky that the leader of the free world makes a fraction of what most CEO’s do.

15. How much did Ivanka Trump make on her trademarks in China on the day Trump was inaugurated?

16. Yeah. He’s the corrupt one. And not the dude whose name is literally a global brand connected to every major country on the planet. Sure. Not the guy who said he was smart for making personal business deals with China while he was president. Uh huh. Not the dude who made his own family top administration officials. Not the guy who’s son in law left that position with a 3 billion dollar deal. You bet.

17. That seems reasonable for a president and his wife.

18. This can’t be right. Is he under duress? Who has kompromat on him?

    Nobody in their right mind just *RELEASES* their tax returns.

19. More than $100k below the league minimum salary for Major League Baseball.

    So the guy blowing the lead for the Tampa Rays is making way more than them, combined.

    Edit: The Rays reliever, Phil Maton, who gave up five runs in a losing effort to the Angels does not make the league minimum, $740k. He makes $6.5 million this season with a 12.00 ERA.

20. It’s not much, but it’s honest work.

21. But where’s Hunter hiding the money from Chyna!? /s

22. I remember when his son Beau was really sick/dying, Obama offered to lend him money to deal with the financial fallout . He’s not poor, but certainly wasn’t rich by most standards.

23. What do Trump’s tax returns show? Oh wait…

24. Saw a reel today of Joe Rogan, dipstick, going on that if you ignored Trump, Biden is a master criminal and far more corrupt than any other president ever. And people believe this shit.

    Meanwhile Trump continues to grift everything associated with him. And the cult throw money at him. Fools.

25. Holy shit, they can afford a home and the groceries they want. They may even keep up with their credit card debt.

26. In ireland our Taoiseach yearly salary is 243k. Wild the responsibility of the president of the United States doesn’t take in a higher salary than 400k

27. > “President Biden believes that all occupants of the Oval Office should be open and honest with the American people,” the White House said in a statement on Monday, “and that the longstanding tradition of annually releasing presidential tax returns should continue unbroken.”

    Well said but someone didn’t cough cough

28. Remember when Donald Trump voluntarily released his tax returns after promising to do so? Me neither.

29. I expect old people who’ve been employed forever to make this much
