Joe The Plumber!

Plumbing is hard dirty work, there are skills involved that many of the folks I know are not able to perform. But has anyone recently needed one of these princes of the skilled labor force? Making an appointment is the start, getting an estimate is next, taking out a second mortgagfs soon follows, and then high fibre, low priced diet soon follows. How about Al the auto worker, or stan the guy who used to be a steelworker?I'm not even going to go into tom the dentist, its going to take me at least 10 years to of money saved on dental floss and tooth paste,to even pay his bill.Why not use someone who is retired, has limited medical insurance, whose premiums go up, and so do the deductions,and watching his drug prices soar? Wish I would have been a plumber. But maybe Joe is a good example, someone needs to handle this crapola we are getting from BOTH sides.

perhaps Joe the plumber should quit his job and live off the government hand outs that liberals are so fond of. Of course, Joe the plumber believes in hard work and earning his own way so that his tax dollars can go to support welfare mothers with no employment history and six kids by four daddys.

Don't worry, it is your attorney that drives a Lexus, it is not your plumber.

Already started hearing dirt about Joe on the radio today. The top flight, finely tuned extremely educated non bias media has found that Joe is actually working for another company and does not own a company of his own. He also voted Republican before! This guy is the enemy!! Oh my gosh, Joe sixpack wanting to improve himself and voted GOP before? Must have been planned huh? Becasue we alll know no man such as this exists.

I say Joe the plumber forget about trying to move on up. The Government is just looking to go after someone like him. He will have a huge target on his back. I say he just stay below the Government radar and not hire any employees, make more money or do anything that suggests success. Of course there are those who say that over taxing businesses wont hurt the economy. Yeah right.

I heard Joe the Plumber say on TV that he wasn't a licensed plumber and didn't need a license because he works under the license of his employer. I also heard, elsewhere, that he owes the IRS $1,200 which isn't really that much. I'm not calling him a tax evader because he could, possibly, have filed for an extension on the time he has to file his income tax. My daughter and son-in-law owe $9,000 in back taxes and it is because their tax hasn't been filed for this year. He has been in Iraq for the past 18 months.

His personal life aside, I think Joe the Plumber represents any able-bodied man or woman who will get off his behind and go to work every day. They don't ask for handouts while they lie around a house subsidized with taxes from Joe, eating food paid for with taxes from Joe, taking pills paid for with taxes from Joe, playing video games all day using electricity paid for with taxes/donations from Joe, and talking on a phone that is paid for with taxes tacked onto Joe's phone bill.

Any time a person gets that 15 seconds of fame, they will have some bored news reporter digging around in their closet for skeletons. If they dig around in Obama's and McCain's closets, instead of a few skeletons,they might find a whole cemetery in there.

My opinion about this whole thing with Joe the Plumber is, he isn't running for president, so why waste time digging up dirt on him. All he did was ask a simple question.

Isn't it amazing how the in the tank the media is! I've never seen anything like it. What ever happened to real news...fair and balanced? It's like the liberals took the media and made it their own personal #$^%. I can't hardly stomach it anymore! It's like everyone came out of the liberal closet and are all up in our faces with it. I wonder if they have actually purchased certain networks...CNN, NBC, CBS, etc. I think I watched Keith Olberman orgasm one night while talking about Obama....it made me feel dirty watching it....weird.

Where was I going with this...oh yea...Joe the Plumber. I was just going to say that it's just the liberal media machine trying to destroy one of us, the average american worker, because we are the enemy to them. They depend on the needy and less fortunate to get them into office........they despise the productive and independent....let me take that back, they do like us for one reason......we pay the bills for the others! What are you...Socialist or Capitalist...CHOOSE!!!

The way the media and news is shown on TV, is one of the reasons I watch as little as possible....Their all for the left sided liberalism and think Americans can't function without their news broadcasts. I mainly only watch the news for the sports and weather reports...But in reality, only the sports reports are the only thing that is true when reported to the public.
