One would think a future millionaire plumber would get his plumbing license. It's not like it's that difficult.

Boy, you must be really upset. When you start using vulgarity it shows you have nothing. Nada.

Oh Please. Straw man argue much? You know what "Joe's" issue was just like the rest of us. He had a few hundred steps to take before a 3% increase in his tax rate would "stymie his upward climb". Making it about Joes AMURRCAN DREAM is so much bullshit. And adding a dollop of OBAMMYCARE is even more ridiculous.

You're a fucking idiot.

You know one of the great things about the US is the freedom to choose what you want to be and what you want to do. Some people make it, some don't. However, we could be Germany where it is determined at the age of ten.

oh he can hope. But he has run through jobs of public speaker, book author, product endorser, lobbyist, gun manufacturer, aspiring plumbing company owner, and war correspondent, all in a five year span. If none of those paid off, I'd say his odds going forward are pretty low, and Obamacare has little to do with it. In fact I'd say he is probably happy to have health insurance right now, thanks to the UAW.

He WASN'T a millionaire, He was an $8/hr plumbers helper. But he was oh so concerned about a 3% rise to the top tax rate.
Perhaps I should have said "Oft-stated PRESUMPTION of being a millionaire plumber". More precise.

Sigh. So goes "Joe's" oft-stated reality of being a millionaire plumber subject to the HIGHEST tax rates.

Could you please source that? I don't ever remember hearing him say that he was a millionaire?

Poor bastard.

Liberal elitist: someone who thinks that a Harvard education always trumps life experience and common sense.

Actually the real point is that McCain was such a terrible candidate the he relied on two know- nothing idiots; " Joe" and "Sarah" to try to desperately appeal to the anti-intellectual bigots who hate "elitist liberals". People like you.

Wow, Alinsky is back. I am not anti-intellectual ( I'm well educated, well traveled and well read). However, you have no appreciation for anyone who is not.

Spoken by an elitist liberal who misses the point that a "regular Joe" got Obama to say what he really meant to do when reporters didn't.

Joe the Plumber?!

I thought he "self-deported" or got caught in Al Gore's famous lockbox.

By the way, does Willie Horton have his own talk show by now?

Toledo Blog: Joe-the-Plumber Toledo Jeep Worker http://swampbubbles.com/blogs/mrindependent/201402...joe-plumber-toledo-jeep-worker

Read the blog. Does that ten hours per day, six days a week include the time the UAW workers are out at the park smoking dope?

I'm a conservative who is a little disturbed by this. Of course, if you want to talk hypocrisy I could give some pretty good examples, too.

I'm sure there is more than one hypocrite in the world. At the moment we are celebrating this particular one.

Whoever you are, I love you a little.
