Calls of hypocrisy can go too far, but it’s simply too easy to imagine (meaning “to know”) how differently this sort of news would be handled if Biden were a Republican:

[Rep. Jim] Banks, the Republican Study Committee chairman, was responding to the New York Post’s report on the findings of the nonpartisan CRS showing how Biden — without being mentioned by name — avoided paying Medicare tax on speaking fees and book sales in 2017 and 2018, improperly using S corporations to show low salaries but count most revenue as “distributions” exempt from Medicare tax.

Sometimes it seems like progressives believe supporting higher taxes is a suitable substitute for paying them.
