But Before I Go....

Joe the Plumber seems to have a few leaks in his story. Oh yes - it's true. The man that McCain held up as a symbol of someone chasing the American Dream of owning his own plumbing business seems to have a few issues of his own to work out. As in; he isn't a licensed plumber (not that he needs to be to own a business) and he owes back taxes. Upstanding citizen? Wel..that's debatable. Check it out.

poor joe I feel bad for him....he got thrown in the debate unwilling....I sure he's not the only one who isn't on the up and up....Do you know anything about ACORN??? Hummmm seems that obama isn't all on the up and up also...

Very interesting. One question that I haven't looked into is this whole $250K. Is that if someone makes $250K or is it if your taxable income is $250K because those are two very different things and dang if a plumber (or even a small plumbing co in Ohio) can make $250K R is in the wrong line of work!

Oh and I wish I was lucky enough to be taxed at 39% for my earnings over $250K, not even the entire $250K, because I would be rich! Hello! 5% of taxpayers, 5%!

Mimi: I know a little about ACORN and I am going to stand behind the belief that Obama did not knoiw what was going on and he should not be held accountable for the questionable acts of others when he had no knowledge of it.

Tanya: I would think taxable income but Joe the Plumber wants to own the business which is another ballgame. It's not that I think his personal income will exceed that but who knows and umm..have you had a plumber at your house lately? They charge extremely high rates. So a plumber with his own business who does good business just might make that much.

Casey, I worked with a Manager that was fired because one of his employees embezzled (spelling???) money that he had no knowledge of …..I asked the question why was she also fired since she didn’t know that the person took the money… answer….because you are supposed to know what your people are doing…..hummmm this was only a small company….obama doesn’t know what his people are doing?????? Yeah right….he was probably the ring leader…..this is only the beginning of what is going to happen when he does get in office so we should just be prepared……
