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.
