IF you watched the final presidential debate, or you’ve seen anything in the news lately, you’ve surely seen all the hullabaloo about “Joe Plumber.” Basically he was a guy Obama met in Ohio and he asked the Democratic Presidential Candidate if he would have his taxes raised if he bought the business he’s been working at for a long time.
McCain brought this up in the debate, and he said Obama’s plan would raise Joe Plumber’s taxes. For the rest of the debate Joe Plumber became the name for an average American.
Well, Joe Plumber is an idiot. He wanted his 5 minutes of fame, so he “came out” of hiding today. He said look everyone, i’m the Joe Plumber they were talking about. He should have just pointed to the TV in the bar, and told his drinking buddies, “Hey, they’re talking about me!” The bartender would have said, sure, whatever Joe, and that would have been it.
For everyone who criticizes the media, they do their homework, thats what they do. Joe plumber isn’t licensed to be a plumber. If he were to unclog your pipes, he’d be breaking labor laws. He also owes back taxes, like, over a thousand bucks worth.
Idiot. what did you expect, really?
Don’t believe me, check it out.
