Democrat hopeful Joe Biden says jobs aren’t just about money, but his words rang hollow for critics who shot back with reminders about low wages and the former vice president’s son getting a cushy gig at a Ukrainian oil company.
Biden’s latest pitch to voters promised to bring “dignity” back to the working middle class.
“A job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about dignity. It’s about being able to look your kid in the eye and say everything is going to be okay – and mean it. Too many people today can’t do that,” Biden tweeted on Friday.

We have to rebuild an inclusive middle class and restore the dignity of work.

So he won’t mind working for no wages, like Trump does.
