Remarks by President Biden at a at a Democratic National Committee Grassroots Rally | Eastern North Carolina Now

    And we'll continue - we'll continue to build an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, an economy built from the bottom up and the middle out, not the top down.

    An economy that rewards work, not wealth; finally stops billionaires who pay an average of 8 percent federal tax - less tax than a teacher or a firefighter.

    I think they should be able to be a billionaire, but pay your fair share, damn it. (Applause.)

    Because we understand something MAGA Republicans don't: Wall Street did not build this country, you did. (Applause.) Working people. Middle class built this nation. And unions built the middle class. (Applause.) And we're not going to let anyone or anything tear America apart.

    I'll close with this: We're at a serious moment in our nation's history. The MAGA Republicans don't just threaten

    our personal rights and economic security, they're a threat to our very democracy. They refuse to accept the will of the people. They embrace - embrace - political violence. They don't believe in democracy.

    This is why, in this moment, those of you who love this country - Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans -- we must be stronger, more determined, and more committed to saving America than the MAGA Republicans are to destroying America. (Applause.)


    "We the People" are the first words of our Constitution, and "We the People" will still determine the destiny of America. If "We the People" stand together, we will prevail as "We the People." (Applause.)

    We just have to keep the faith. We just have to persevere. We just have to vote. Vote. (Applause.)

    AUDIENCE: Vote! Vote! Vote!

    THE PRESIDENT: Folks, we just have to remember who we are. We are the United States of America, and there is nothing - nothing - beyond our capacity if we do it together, so let's get it done. (Applause.)

    God bless you all, and may God protect our troops. (Applause.) Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

Considering what is being reported as the most divisive presidential speech - September 1, 2022 - in modern American history, where over 74,000,000 people, many of whom are OUR greatest patriots, were named as fascists by inference or otherwise: Is Joe Biden clearly capable of governing all of the American People to the betterment of this Representative Republic?
  Yes, it is important that Haters are named.
  No, Joe Biden cannot accept criticism when the real truth is his cruelest taskmaster.
  I have no idea what is going on because I only consume Democratic Socialist Media.

Inarguably, the policies of the Democrats in congress and Joe Biden as the Executive is plunging the United States into a recession, if we are not already there; a recession that was completely avoidable. Will abrupt changes in policies occur in time?
  Yes, the Democrats have a bold plan, yet to be revealed, to save us.
  No, there will have to be a complete undoing of the damage done by these Democrats.
  I can't do simple math, so how am I to understand the concept of basic economics.

Was it a judicious ploy for Joe Biden's FBI to execute the unprecedented raid of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate?
  Yes; the Cheneys despise this former Republican president, and for good reason ... so they say.
  No; never has a former president been treated with this level of vindictive abuse by those temporarily in power.
  Who cares? It's Trump.
