Fuck Joe the Plumber, and not in a good way!

Now that the debates are over, Barack Obama needs to stop worrying about these idiots like Mr. the Plumber, who will still not believe the candidate even when the words come out of his own mouth. Just concentrate on keeping the party faithful energized and getting them to the poles. Hell, between the Democrats and Republicans, we have been two years getting to this election. Undecided? How the hell can you not have made up your mind in all this time?

But I digress...

First of all, Mr. the Plumber isn't even a licensed plumber, so at best he's Joe the employee of the guy who owns the plumbing business. However, since his boss is not licensed, he is just Joe, that dude who does plumbing. Whatever, its just the two of them and the business makes over $250k a year. Which means that neither of them individually makes more than $250k unless Mr. the Plumber is the worst businessman ever (or best employee, depending on your viewpoint).

Senator Obama plainly said yesterday that individuals making less than $250k wouldn't see any increase in taxes and that those making less than $200k would get a tax cut. That means that neither Mr. the Plumber nor his employer have anything to worry about. Senator Obama also indicated that for those making more than $250k who were small business owners, they would be exempt from any tax increase as a generator of jobs. There again, Mr. the Plumber and his boss have nothing to worry about. According to the Small Business Administration's website, until their plumbing business generated more than $13 million annually and had more than 100 employees, it would still classed as a small business.

Yet and still, despite hearing these words from the mouth of the candidate himself, Joe the Plumber, world-renowned political and economics expert and philanthropist, still has trouble with Senator Obama's plan:
"If you believed (Obama), I'd be receiving his tax cuts," Wurzelbacher said.
"But I don't look at it that way. He'd still be hurting others."
Thank you for your concern Joe. Thinking like that is why you will never own that plumbing business unless your boss just gives it to you and even if that happens, you will never be more than you are now.
"I just hope I'm not making too much of a fool of myself," he added.
Too late for that, you putz!
