In Virginia, Biden Touted The Fact That “A Job Is About A Lot More Than Your Paycheck. It Is About Your Dignity. It Is About Your Respect.” VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN:“We think the way you rebuild this country is you grow it from the middle class out the old- fashioned way, not from millionaires down. My dad, who may be a lot like you when things changed in the 1950’s, he had to leave to find a job. That is how I got down to Wilmington, Delaware. My dad used to have an expression. He is to say, ‘A job is about a lot more than your paycheck. It is about your dignity. It is about respect. It is about the sense of yourself and your place in the community. It is so much more than a paycheck.’ All that you know at least one , two, or more. All across America, through no fault of their own, they have been stripped of their dignity. They did nothing wrong.” (Vice President Joe Biden, Remarks At A Campaign Event, Danville, VA, 8/14/12)
