The all-American working man demeanor of Tim WalzāKamala Harrisās new running mateālooks like itās not just an act.
Financial disclosures show Tim Walz barely has any assets to his name. No stocks, bonds, or even property to call his own. Together with his wife, Gwen, his net worth is $330,000, according to aĀ reportĀ by theĀ Wall Street JournalĀ citing financial disclosures from 2019, the year after he became Minnesota governor.
With that kind of meager nest egg, he would be more or less in line with theĀ median figureĀ for Americans his age (heās 60), and even poorer than the average. One in 15 Americans is a millionaire, a recent UBS wealth reportĀ discovered.
Meanwhile, the gross annual income of Walz and his wife, Gwen, amounted to $166,719 before tax in 2022, according to their joint return filed that same year. Walz is even entitled to earn more than the $127,629Ā salary he receivesĀ as state governor, but he has elected not to receive the roughly $22,000 difference.
āWalz represents the stable middle class,ā tax lawyer Megan Gorman, who authored a book on the personal finances of U.S. presidents, told the paper.
Just in hypothetical, if you have illicit earning, you probably wonāt declare them.
Edit: this comment seems unpopular, but it has happened in the past. If somebody could tell me why itās so wrong I would appreciate
Thatās not how logic works. You donāt get to make a claim then demand to be disproven. The burnden of proof is on you, and if the best you have is āidk seems like it could happenā then you have fuck all
Iām not making a claim, .neither I asked to be disproven. just answering a situation in which it would happen.
You indirectly claimed Tim has illicit money:
Then asked to be disproven:
In the hypothetical case somebody has them. Thatās not a claim of fact. Iām not saying him has illicit gains, only showing a case of when somebody would hide their true assets. Just like Clarence Thomas lied about the presents.
I know politics are now a touchy subject, but not everything is an attack.
I have explained why youāre being down voted because you asked. If you refuse to accept ithe answer thatās on you.
Iām explaining what is wrong with your reading. I was in good faith telling you. Iām not sure why you chose to be do abrasive and closed minded, but Itās on me for trying to be help.
