Joe The Plumber
The last of the Obama - McCain debates helped us know more about Joe the Plumber from Ohio than what the candidates stand for. Should I resign this IT job of mine, and take up plumbing? Joe, the Plumber from Ohio makes more than 250K a year, we were told. Good Gosh, and he's worried he will be paying more taxes under Obama. John McCain still does not get it. He assumes everyone in the audience is a corporate banker or a small business guy. Obama has made it clear in every debate that families earning less than 250K a year will not see a tax increase, and that would be true for 95% of the population. But in every rally, McCain-Palin keep telling us that Obama will increase taxes. So, I guess, the other 5% of the crowd must be the ones who attend these rallies.
