Biden says he doesn't want to 'demonize' wealth: 'Rich people are just as patriotic as poor people'

Former Vice President Joe Biden told wealthy donors at a Tuesday evening fundraiser that he does not want to “demonize” wealth because he finds “rich people are just as patriotic as poor people.”

“Remember I got in trouble with some of the people on my team, on the Democratic side,” the Democratic frontrunner said. “Because I said, ‘You know what I’ve found is rich people are just as patriotic as poor people.’ Not a joke. I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who has made money,” Biden told 100 supporters at the Manhattan event.
