But really, Joe is just a victim of the McCain campaign. First, he believes McCain’s version of Obama’s plan so he gets a zinger in on Obama. But on false assumptions.
Then McCain uses Joe’s name a dozen times in the debate to point out how this poor guy is going to be taxed to death by Obama.
The media has to follow-up. The poor guy makes 40K a year, has back taxes, and delusions of grandeur. Now, Joe may get a loan to buy that business of his some day, but when Joe is making 250K a year, he won’t be nearly as impacted by that higher tax rate.
Anyone care to comment on the fact that the greatest disparity in increase in income came in the years 1992-1999? To me this chart just magnifies that both parties are beholden to the corporate world.
fixed the graphic so that it is clickable.
thanks bitch
That is just wrong.
Why the name calling for Joe the Plumber?
Seems like a hard working guy to me.
Because, Mike, he didn’t like Obama’s plan. That’s a mortal sin in these parts. Joe the Plumber is just another racist.
No. We hate Joe the Plumber for his baldness…

I could care less about Joe the Plumber.
