Does that have to be lubricated first?

Look at it on a larger scale. Obama wants to punish successful companies and bail out failures. How is that good for American and main street?

Obama and his monsters are all evil as hell.

Americans are in the fight for their lives during this election because these fascists will be the absolute death or enslavement of us all.

Obama's tax programs will stifle all economic progress, and his affirmative action/equal opportunity/politcally correct policies will transform America's government into something of a Palestinian state.

He will have a "slash and burn" approach to the Defense Department, and National Security will be tossed out of the window as well.

Obama is the most dangerous man alive because he is evil and hatred personified.

Joe was a Republican “plant” that caused Obama for once to tell the truth and get his appendage caught in the wringer.

I know this makes us all mad, but the left is screwing the pooch big time on this one. Even if Joe loses his job, I can guarantee there are at least several thousand FReepers will to give him a new one. Joe will be fine.

The most important aspect of this episode is the complete disdain the left has for average Americans. Joe is just one of us dreaming about bettering himself someday. They are trying to ruin him for simply asking Obama a question. They are attacking middle America, and it ain't gonna play well in the polls.

They’ve done more investigations into Joe the Plumber in 24 hours than they’ve done on Barack Obama in two years

It’s not about Joe, it’s about what Obama said in answer to a question — Proving he is a Karl Marx collectivist.

I think it’s a lot of over reacting, honestly. I hate taxes, but I hate hyperbole more. The tax rate would go from the current 36% to 39% for anything over 250k. That means that if Joe’s Plumbing made a million dollars he’d pay $9,000 more with 0bama’s plan than the current. That sucks for sure, but it’s not a hardship.

The ‘rat crime syndicate and their media propagandists at work. Unprecedented assault on Joe the Plumber because Senator Government was asked a question he had to answer without a teleprompter.

Thanks to all like-minded lurkers, independents reading this thread.

Pat,
on this forum we are about lowering taxes, not raising them.

Taxes are a hardship. Raising taxes when an economy is slowing is not just a hardship, it’s a plan to make things even worse.

You may think the Obamunist’s plan is not that bad, but you won’t find a lot of agreement with your position here.

I’m not a tax guru but in your scenario 36% of $750k is $270k. 39% of $750k is $292.5k. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Perhaps $22.5k is hyperbole to you especially if it’s to “spread the wealth”?

If McCain wins there should be scorched earth investigations of Obama and his thugs. There won’t be, but there should.

Somebody made a great point about Obama. All the 100’s of millions of $, the in the tank media, Hollywood, academia, etc. all that heavy artillery and what ultimately will doom him...A Plumber from Toledo. How deliciously ironic. Obama has been exposed, and besides the constipated grunts of the “Fox News AllTards” Obama has been shown to be an automaton without an original thought and the intellect of a rotting tomato. He looked defensive, scripted and drowsy last night.

We have Obama's word on it.

That sucks for sure, but it’s not a hardship.

And who gets to decide what is hardship? If Joe makes $1 million, why should he be punished with a higher tax rate?

By the way, 3% of $750,000 is $22,500, not $9,000. I hate hyperbole also.
