What’s the Joke?

By now you’ve heard of Samuel Joseph (Joe) Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. Joe the Plumber. He’s the guy who went up to Sen. Obama worried, because Obama’s tax plan will increase taxes on small businesses making more than $250,000, and Joe doesn’t want that. Well according to the Toledo Blade, Joe doesn’t have a required plumbing license and isn't registered to work as a plumber in Ohio. He also does not have the money to buy the plumbing business where he now works. So why would a non-licensed non-registered plumber have anything to worry about?

Truth, I don’t know.

But perhaps Joe’s question is one shared by other small business who ARE wondering what Joe asked. But even if Joe had the money to buy the business it is doubted by the Obama campaign that any plumber makes more than a quarter million a year. And apparently that very thought of is quite comical at Obama rallies. It’s funny that John McCain would try to help a plumber. I’m sorry but wouldn’t plumbers fall under the middle class category? I mean Barack Obama talks so much about how John McCain doesn’t talk about the middle class, that when someone, like Joe, from the middle class has a problem, it’s funny? Tell me He who is running for president, what’s the joke?
