Joe the Plumber asked Barack Obama "I’m getting ready to buy a company that makes $250,000 to $280,000 a year. Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” Ever since then the crucifixion of Joe the Plumber has begun.
His Divorce papers have been read on the radio, it’s been claimed that he’s not even a plumber, and he’s been accused of being a McCain campaign “plant” even though Obama was wandering through HIS neighborhood. Many times the Obama campaign has accused the McCain campaign of politics of distraction. Isn’t that what the Democrats and their puppet news outlets are doing now?
Joe the Plumber and his life aren’t even relevant. What IS relevant is the question he asked Barack Obama and Barack Obama’s revealing answer. Obama stated, "If your revenue is above $250,000, then from $250,000 down, your taxes are going to stay the same. It is true that for $250,000 up… you'd go from 36% to 39%, which is where it was under Bill Clinton." He went on to explain “it’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance at success, too. And I think that when we spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody”.
“Spread the wealth around”? Take from the rich and give to the poor? Who is he; Robin Obamahood now? How is it fair to take money from people who earned it and give it to people who haven’t? Isn’t this SOCIALISM?
After Obama wins I think I’ll retire. Why not? With all those rich people making $250,000 or more sending me checks every month who wouldn’t?
