Unpaid Taxes and Liens
The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue in Philadelphia County has issued a notice to Ashley Biden, daughter of President Joe Biden, stating that she has an unpaid tax lien in favor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The period covered by the lien is from January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2021.
Joe Biden’s Stance on Wealthy Individuals
Joe Biden has been vocal about wealthy and connected individuals not paying their fair share of taxes. However, this tax lien on his daughter’s property raises questions about the consistency of his own family’s tax compliance.
“The scale is not anything like Hunter, but… Joe is constantly talking about how wealthy and connected people do not pay their fair share and can’t afford to pay more, and it just so happens that both of his living children did not pay their taxes,” said Garrett Ziegler, founder of nonprofit Marco Polo and former President Trump aide.
The Bidens’ Carelessness
Ziegler also criticized the Bidens for their carelessness, stating that they should have been more prudent, especially as the first family, to avoid any tax liens, particularly in an election year.
Discovery of Ashley Biden’s Lien
Ziegler’s team discovered Ashley’s tax lien while conducting a routine search in the Philadelphia County courthouse system. Ziegler is known for founding the website BidenLaptopMedia.com, which contains thousands of photos from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
