Comments on: The debate: Who is ‘Joe Plumber’? http://www.365gay.com/news/the-debate-who-is-joe-plumber/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:11:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Roger RamJet http://www.365gay.com/news/the-debate-who-is-joe-plumber/comment-page-1/#comment-25573 Roger RamJet Thu, 16 Oct 2008 17:09:33 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=3738#comment-25573 Turns out Joe the Plumber is related to Charles Keating. You know; Keating 5 Lincoln Savings and Loan CEO, who used McCain to stay out of Jail. Steve Schmidt, McCain's new Karl Rove appointed campaign manager was screaming at his team just before the Debate began as to why 'the hell (they) put a Keating into the debate'! Also, Joe the plumber has donated well over 10,000 a year to Republican National Committee. Can you say Republican Plant? Poor John McLame. He'll be ot of work after November. But I guess he can always retire and focus on cutting the front lawns of his seven houses. That'll keep him busy, doncha know (wink!). Turns out Joe the Plumber is related to Charles Keating.

Poor John McLame. He’ll be ot of work after November. But I guess he can always retire and focus on cutting the front lawns of his seven houses.

That’ll keep him busy, doncha know (wink!).

Home improvement businesses are going under these days in a Bush economy where the middle class can't afford to remodel a kitchen or bathroom. So Joe the Plumber might get a tax cut in a McCain economy, but an Obama economy will bring those middle class customers with cash in hand into the door. I wish Obama would have countered McCain's attack with that. Exactly, Drip3!

As a former banker I can assure you that very, vrey few small businesses have a PROFIT of over $250,000. If a small business has a profit of more than $250,000 the owner is much richer than most of us, and yes AlexH, I too would be happy to pay higher taxes if that was me. Well honestly, should I ever open a small business and make that much money I will probably object to Obama's policy as well (like that will ever happen). AlexH, I agree with you.

I don't get it? From what I understand, only businesses that make over $250,000 dollars will see a tax increase so Wurzelbacher shouldn't have anything to worry about. Unless his plumbing business starts bringing in over $250,000, which will make him a BIGGER business than most small businesses, and he should be happy to pay the additional taxes. Give me a business that makes over a quarter-of-a-million dollars a year and I'll be more than happy to pay my fair share of taxes! Perhaps this Joe is related to “Joe Six-Pack?”
