haha Gee, here's some background info on Joe the plumber.

Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who’s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating’s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan. The now retired elder Wurzelbacher is also a major contributor to Republican causes giving well over $10,000 in the last few years.

Coincidence? I doubt it.

and he aint a licensed plumber neither..

He thinks he doesn't need to be one becomes he only works on homes.

Neither he nor his employer has a license.

Since the county knows about it, I guess that they'll be getting them.

what a dork..

I love it. He also admits he would benefit under the Obama tax plan.

lol

Mr. Wurzelbacher said he objects to Mr. Obama’s plans to raise income taxes on incomes above $250,000.

He said he makes no where near that much money but he would not say how much he makes or if he ever expects to make $250,000.

Court records from a divorce show Mr. Wurzelbacher made $40,000 in 2006.

now THIS may be relevant...

This was nothing more than exploitation of "Joe the Plumber" by McCain. When this guy asked Obama the question, Obama answered him honestly. "Sorry, pal. If you go North of $250K, your taxes are going up."

once again...it was Barry Obamas answer about spreading the wealth...and NOT about Joe the plumber...also...Liberals still think that the country is under taxed...IT'S THE FUGGIN' SPENDING !!!!!

Yes it is, and until we lessen all of it, it's irresponsible for us to continue the Republican, "cut tax and spend anyway" strategy. Let's start with the wasteful war machine spending. No offense, warmachine.

This poor guy is turning out to be "Joe the Houseplant."

This Joe guy is a typical full of **** republican.

Learner22...this is for you...

Article I, Section 8 reads, "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes . . ." That means the president has no taxing authority.

Presidents can propose or veto taxes and Congress can override vetoes. The bottom line is that all taxing authority rests with the U.S. Congress. The next time you hear someone condemn or praise Bush's tax cuts, ask them whether the Constitution has been amended to give the president taxing authority. well has it ?

like this administration has taken the constitution into consideration..

You of course, are correct. Then why all the Republican charges that "Obama will raise taxes?"
