P O ‘d Plumbers against Obama!
One thing for which I must give props to Joe. He handled Katie better than Sarah - granted, there’s a degree of difficulty disparity, and Sarah had a bunch of stupid handlers in her ear, but credit where credit is due. JTP handled Sawyer and the Perkster like a seasoned pro.
I’m not joking, this guy could do a TV show or a talk show today. With just a tiny bit of refinement, he could run for Congress...
The only reason they’re going after Joe is to draw attention away from the real facts about the socialistic income-redistribution remarks Obama made to him.
He has become a huge celebrity in Japan. ROCK STAR STATUS!!!

The money quote:
“Whenever the economy was heading down..... it didn’t matter, nothing else mattered. Whoever was in power got blamed for it and tossed out, pure and simple.”

So, tell me this current financial crash on the eve of the election is just a coincidence.
Bump for later reading!
This is a great illustration of the left’s utter contempt for working Americans. If Joe was some unemployed bum being evicted from a house he bought with a loan he shouldn’t have gotten in the first place, the MSM would be kissing his feet.
Anyone else having the “Day after Saddleback” feeling/
Why doesn't anyone explain our tax code and why small business owners must report much higher incomes than they themselves actually pay themselves. Business owners have to study the current tax laws and decide how to file. Often times this means including the company revenue as part of your personal income.
A small business owner may only pay themselves $74K/year on the payroll books. But if the company did $3 Million in business and realized only $200,000 in profits, they might actually decide to report the business profits depending on how they file.
Now, middle class Joe Plumber is RICH by Obama and Biden standards and should be contributing to their “spread the wealth” ideology.
Disclaimer: I only know as much about filing taxes as necessary to exploit the loopholes for myself and report all business income and deductions in my personal filings. My statements may not be applicable to all small businesses.
To “Joe The Plumber”
Don’t Let The B@$tards Grind You Down!!!

Personally, I think the overly nuanced, professional slicks that run for political office are excessively “refined” as it is. Refined to the point of absolute nausea in fact. I’ll take an honest person full of integrity with limited public speaking polish, such as President Bush, anytime over the Ivy League debating team.
And I’ll take Joe just the way he is.
Amen, brother.
the fect is as a self-employed plumber he will pay additional self-employment tax of 15% of 103,000 up to whatever his income is. so an added 147K X 15% is over #20K more & that doesn’t include any of obama’s added fed tax
