Remember Obama''s speech about having been to 57 states, and still had one more to visit -- Hawaii and Alaska?

It is on youtube unedited.

This is the guy you want in the White House meeting foreign leaders and shaping our foreign and domestic policy?

Might be true if was in fact Joe is a plumber. Just revealed on TV that no one with his name or any variation thereof is a licensed plumber in the State of Ohio. You cannot represent yourself as a plumber, enter people''''s homes, etc, without a license.

Hate to tell you fella''s, but the paper doesn''t make the man a plumber. I have never asked to see my plumber''s license, but I do know he gets the job done. If you can keep the water flowing, your a plumber, piece of paper or not. The guy isn''t a plant for the McCain campaign, he is a guy trying to figure out what is going to affect his future. Leave him alone and pick on the political parasites. Modern liberalists always seem to attack the person, not the ideas, and that is not the origianl meaning of liberealism.

Minuteman-8,

I know a few people who worked in blue-collar jobs with pensons during the 1980s. Some corporate raiders came in bought the company with no money down and then sold off the pieces including the pensions just to make money. These were people who had worked hard for 10 to 15 years and they were destroyed. They were never ever able to find such a good job after and worked at much reduced levels...sometimes two or three jobs at a time to make maybe $20K a year.

Please save me with the "rich people work hard" stuff. Yes, some do. But, there are many who do not and there are many people, most people, in the lower ranks who work just as hard for no peanuts but deserve a bit of respect!

*** Since when do the upper one percent of wage earners work hard??? Do you realize who the upper one percen of wage earners that Obama will tax??? Walmart executives and oil company executives! Those are the people you are worried about not getting taxed? You need to wake up and realize that amnesty mccain only cares about very wealthy people, and illegal mexicans

I would say McCain just caused some problems for Joe.

That''''s too funny.

Posted by melchg



Ironic, huh?

McCain used poor Joe as a prop, and probably put him out of a job.

Joe the Plumber

On Thursday, Joe revealed to the media assembled outside his home that he wasn''t a licensed plumber. He said he works for a small plumbing company that does residential work. Because he works for someone else, he doesn''t need a license, he said.

But the county Wurzelbacher and his employer live in, Lucas County, requires plumbers to have licenses. Neither Wurzelbacher nor his employer are licensed there, said Cheryl Schimming of Lucas County Building Regulations, which handles plumber licenses in parts of the county outside Toledo.


I would say McCain just caused some problems for Joe.

notfooled,

A flat tax to me would push a higher burden of taxes onto lower income people. A 10% flat tax on goods is not the same for someone making $20K a year versus someone making $2M a year.

It would also create a black market of goods.

And I can see an increase in theft.

How many people out there feel sorry for anyone making over 250k a year?

McCain seemed to want us to feel sorry for them ???

Posted by notfooled


Nobody''''s asking you to feel sorry for people who make over 250K. The problem is, you shouldn''''t be punished cuz you worked your tail off to be successful. Maybe a flat tax is the answer

Posted by codymac4 at 03:11 PM : Oct 16, 2008

An intelligent answer. A flat tax would insure those with the most money pay the most tax.

And no I don''t feel sorry for 250k earners and have a hard time understanding how McCain would think he could smear Obama with such an argument. People are smarter than McCain''s tactics indicate he assumes them to be.

"All i''''m sayingis it needs to be an equal percentage of everyones income.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Posted by codymac4 at 03:16 PM : Oct 16, 2008"




I don''t agree with this at all. Unless it is possible for everyone to get an equal salary at all levels, then some people will be in positions, not because they are the only ones who could be in that position, but because somebody gave them a chance to be in that position. It''s not fair for the nurse, teacher or garbage collector to have to pay the same percentage amount in taxes as a $10M a year hedge fund manager. Who do you need the most?
