Joe the Plumber

Barack Obama has an answer for everything, except for when Joe Wurzelbacher, aka "Joe the Plumber," asked him a question that pointed out a hugh hole in his taxation platform. Wurzelbacher wanted to buy a plumbing business, but was concerned that Obama's $250,000 benchmark for rich people would put his dream out of reach. Obama, being Obama, had an answer that went something like "blah, blah, blah..." without really answering the problem Joe faced. Added to that, he ridiculed Joe in subsequent days, which to me smacks a little disingenuous. Sensing a possible hole in their candidate's tax scheme, the Democrats and associated media monkeys dug up all they could to denounce Joe as a tax evader and not even a real plumber. Goodness. I thought people like Joe were the kind of hard-working middle-class Americans the Democrats care about.  The fact is they don't. If you are reading this and are offended, too bad. The reality is that while politicians like Obama talk the big game, once they get in office, it's usually same-old, same-old.  And Joe the Plumber won't get within 500 feet of Barack Obama again.
