I still don't know what he has done for the middle-class.

Whenever he has made his television appearances, he appears to be personable. For that purpose, he serves as a good role model. Since I don't reside in Deleware, I don't vote for the guy or against him. Certainly no one has ever decided how to vote with respect to Biden because of anything that I've ever said.

But I do know that he voted for NAFTA, the Iraq War resolution, the bankruptcy law changes, etc.

My observation re that he represents the bankers is just that. I said what I did in response to your comment that you son "doesn't like Biden at all, says Joe's a phoney." I agree with your son because Biden makes television appearances in which he seeks to give the impression that he is a reasonable person and represents ordinary Americans but then votes for the big-money interests which are harming this country. As I say, I don't vote in Deleware and I certainly don't influence anyone else's vote. It's just an observation.
