Biden decries America's 'wealth gap' at $2,800-a-head Manhattan fundraiser

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday expressed concern about income inequality to a group of donors paying $2,800 to attend an event at a Manhattan law firm.

“The fact of the matter is, you represent a lot of really good people, you represent a lot of people in need, you represent everybody,” Biden told the room of roughly 100 people, each of whom gave the maximum allowed for individual campaign contributions. “But here’s the deal: This wealth gap that exists in the United States of America is so profound now, it is the stuff of which — not revolutions but political disillusionment — occurs. Disillusion occurs.”
