Joe the Plumber to be helped by McCain
Who is Joe the Plumber?
He is Joe Wurzelbacher, an Ohio man looking to buy a plumbing business who came to symbolize the notion of spreading the wealth in Wednesday night’s third and final presidential debate between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.
Earlier this week, when Wurzelbacher got a chance to speak with Obama during a campaign appearance in Toledo, he told Obama that his tax plan would keep him from buying the business that currently employs him.
Sensing an opportunity during the debate, McCain cited that exchange when the candidates were asked to explain why their economic plans are better than their opponent’s. McCain said Obama’s plan would stop entrepreneurs from investing in new small businesses and keep existing ones from growing.
“Joe wants to buy the business that he has been in for all of these years, worked 10, 12 hours a day. And he wanted to buy the business but he looked at your tax plan and he saw that he was going to pay much higher taxes,” McCain challenged Obama.
“You were going to put him in a higher tax bracket which was going to increase his taxes, which was going to cause him not to be able to employ people, which Joe was trying to realize the American dream,” McCain said.

I bet if Obama …
I bet if Obama loses the election. At one point he will be a big supporter of McCain. If Obama wins the elections. Then he will find out that McCain plans are the only workable. So all he can do is take over McCains ideas in all quietness.

Number 1, Mccain is …
Number 1, Mccain is not George Bush. Number 2, Obama is a socialist who believes he can take people hard earned money and redistribute the wealth. Buddy, that is unconstitutional and is certainly not what our founding fathers wanted in a federal government. The fed needs to get out of the economy, too much money is being spent and Obama will only make it worse. There is not enough money to pay for it all. And number 3, Obama has you brainwashed like every other liberal idiot.

Sometimes your government is not the solution, but you working for yourself is the solution.The government has to care about that the workers in businesses get enough paid, and social stuff and those ill and such. but they should let the businesses run the economy by themselves.What governments Have to do is prevent the stockmarkets from mixing with ‘buying houses’.Businesses are businesses but they shouldn’t interfere into the whole thing about houses.That’s where the economic crisis started.

if the Joe thing is Republican strategy or not.. the man is speaking the truth so.. he speaks words about Obama and McCain that are just as true as that you have two eyes (or at least one, else you couldn’t see these words :). Obama’s plan is like punish those who make their own businesses and aid those that lay down on their es.Obama is like “oh the money is there so why can’t I take it.”His plan ruins the economy.McCain wants to let the businesses do it by itself, that’s how it should be.

If people are …
If people are willing to sacrifice their lives and fight for this country and protect the ets of the privileged, (and yes if you make over 250Gs you are privileged) the privileged should be willing to pay a little extra to help their fellow countrymen who are losing houses and jobs.

Vote for the right person this Nov, Vote Obama.
McCain and Palin don’t care about you or I, when was the last time John said “my friends” these are exactly what I have planned if I’m elected. He talks in circles because if he lays out his plan the people will see it’s the same plan Bush has carried out for the last 8 years. Don’t say you are going to vote for Obama…….GO OUT AND VOTE. BE MAD THAT, WANT CHANGE, AND IN NOV GO OUT AND VOTE FOR IT.

why the names? why the poison? Why is this hard working man a bigot? If you worked you off everyday, wouldn’t you resent high taxes to help pay for people that don’t work. I am a nurse. Everyday I see people who don’t work get all these benefits without contributing at all to society. I resent paying for these people. I resent supporting these people-Don’t you? Why”fascist hypocrite” or do you just write down whatever flies out of your brain?

Joe plumber is registered republican SAM, Samuel Wurzelbacher and is Charles Keatings grandson of the Keating 5 fame (McCain took bribes but only got his hand slapped for BAD judgment).
What plumber makes $250k. 90% small business make less. A 3% bump & giving a tax cut to 95% of the people is not socialism.
Tax records show Joe mad $40k in 2006, so he will benefit. So why make 1/4 million, make a million a year and 3% will not matter.
LOL the fasicst GOP liars strike again.

JOE PLUMBER IS …
JOE PLUMBER IS ILLIGLE! He said he worked for Newell Plumbing & Heating Co., but according to Lucas County Building Inspection records, they don’t maintain a state plumbing license. By Ohio building regulations, he must maintain his own license for plumbing work. He is not registered to operate as a plumber in Ohio, which means hes not a plumber. Tom Joseph, for Local 50 of the United oc of Plumbers, Steamfitters union said he is not trained or qualified. LOL, McCain blew up again.
