There has been much controversy on the Internet regarding the "Joe the Plumber". One controversy involves the question as two whether or not Joe is an authentic plumber, a regular Joe. I believe whether or not he is really a plumber and really makes the amount of money stated is not very important here. Fiction and literature, while it can contain half-truths, can still express truth, as all good liberal philosophers know. Even more, economics is a difficult subject to communicate in a short amount of time. The economical system in any country requires one to not only notice what is caused and affected by economic policies, but also what is not caused, that is, what is lost, to borrow a notion from economist Henry Hazlitt. So, ironically enough, of two possible candidates, it is easier for the liar to sound better than the one who is attempting with all his might to be clear to the public about what they will actually lose or gain by a particular economic policy. Whether or not Joe the Plumber is a story powerful enough to achieve truth telling, is doubtful. Like all other McCain's attempts to counter Obama's socialistic policies, he comes off very weak and doesn't quite make the impact that he could.
