Hey Demerelda, how about J.C. Watts or Alan Keyes?

That being a fact.

Wurzelbacher said Obama's plans to raise taxes on those making $250,000 a year or more would penalize him in his plans to buy the plumbing business for which he works.
Hey McKague before you post this crap maybe you should try reading it. Once again the Obamamites and their pals in the press try to discredit what I and most would agree is an average American.
Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Before I moved up here my neighbor across the street owned a plumbing business and he damn sure had an income of $250k . I would imagine if Joe buys the business and runs it properly he would also fall under Barrys socialist tax plan to "Spread the Wealth"

Oh, you read the link? Good, then you probably caught this in the first line:
quote:
oe the Plumber is not exactly a plumber, he's "not even close" to making the kind of money that would result in higher taxes from Democrat Barack Obama's proposals....
Let's review:
1) The basis for John McCain's new campaign, "Joe the plumber", is not licensed to work as a plumber.
2) His name isn't Joe.
3) His taxes won't go up under Barack Obama's proposed tax plan.
It sounds to me "Joe the plumber" is going to be about as much help garnering votes as "Bob the Builder"!

If he buys that business, his taxes WILL go up. The messiah himself said so.

Well lets run it by McKague one more time. Joe does not need to be licensed if he works for a residential plumber. Kinda like an independent trucker who does not have to join the most corrupt union in America ya know Kevin the one you belong to.
If McKague would have bothered to check he would have discovered that Joe is not afraid to go by his MIDDLE NAME unlike some wimpy ass like Barack Hussein Obama who claims the mere mention of his middle name is akin to racism or some shit like that.
If Joe does buy the business and runs it properly which is his dream its quite possible that he will make sufficient dollars for Barack to come redistribute some of it. Of course by then Barack will probably have stepped that magic excess income number of his to $150 k if he finds hes a bit short in the "spreading someone else s money around" department, you know all those give away programs costs money. The American dream own your own business be successful and pay your help a good wage. Baracks dream "SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND. Can you say SOCIALIST.

I'll repeat what I said in another thread: If you're gonna make up stuff about people, please at least keep your fiction to the candidates. I'm not going to get into a debate about the merits of any unions, but I will say that I do not belong to one. Also, if I don't have my commercial driver's license, I'm no longer a truck driver. Whether Joe the plumber is really Sam the contractor is not what's important. What is important is that Senator McSame held him up as a symbol of "an ordinary American" (whatever that means), just like he tried to with Sarah Palin, without vetting him first. He's past due on his personal taxes, and the company his boss owns, the one he'd like to buy, makes far less than $250, 000, so it won't get taxed more under Obama's plan. Leave it to the guy owning seven houses to mess up when picking the "average American", I guess this is what you get.

1. Some people aren't licensed (given permission) by their master (government) to get married and they still get married in a church. His boss does have a license. Normally you can help a plumber as long as he is there. On another note Abraham Lincoln practiced law without a license and I don't think he even had a marriage license. Does that mean he wasn't a lawyer and wasn't married?
2. Some people do go by their middle name or do you think he should need a license by the government to do that?
3. His argument is still valid. Does Joe want to be rich so he can "spread his wealth around". If so should he need the government to do it for him?

Joe got Obama to admit he wants to spread the wealth around in plain English. That's pretty damn good.
