Joe the plumber’s question that extracted from Obama the revelation that he wants to “spread the wealth around” is just the beginning of the argument we must make.
Next we must get the voters to understand that the “rich”, the declared enemy of Democratic Party tax policy, are, functionally, EMPLOYERS, and that taking from them simply raises the prices of goods and services, CREATES unemployment and stifles future jobs. In short, THERE IS NO WAY EMPLOYEES ESCAPE THE DAMAGE OF TARGETING EMPLOYERS THROUGH TAX POLICY.
How can the economy grow if money is extracted disproportionately from the sector that initiates all growth?
Note to Republicans: every time someone uses the word “rich”, we should say, “oh, you mean our nation’s EMPLOYERS-the ones who sign all the checks?” We must not miss an opportunity to rescue the word “rich” from the pejorative status it now occupies.
They have done a commercial featuring Joe.

production quality is not very good...maybe that was on purpose.
“Joe-the-Plumber Vetted More Than Obama-the-Presidential-Candidate”
This should be shouted from the mountaintops.
I’ve been frustrated with the left for a long time -— no matter the topic -— oil, taxes, etc. -— they’re against it.
A few days ago I found the very first, honest liberal. She had a bumper sticker on car that read:
Economic Growth = Environmental Destruction
The first one of these lunatics that comes straight to the point. They want higher taxes, less oil, or whatever it takes to make life poorer and more difficult as long as there deity is honored -— mother erf.
Amen, if somehow we can find a clever way to take the word rich back the debate will be won
